    EXTENDED DEADLINE

    Octavia E. Butler: Celebrating Letters, Life, and Legacy – February 26-28, 2016 – Spelman College

    February 24, 2016 will mark the tenth anniversary of the passing of Octavia E. Butler. To commemorate her contributions to the world of letters, the Octavia E. Butler Society solicits papers for a special conference to be hosted by Spelman College February 26-28, 2016. The Society welcomes proposals of 250 words focused on any aspect of Butler’s life, work, and influence. Because a major goal of the Society is to encourage the teaching of her works in the academy and beyond, we also invite submissions addressing approaches to teaching Butler in any pedagogical environment. Panel proposals are also encouraged. This inaugural conference is especially geared toward conversation and collaboration so submissions that move beyond the traditional conference paper are welcome.

    Please submit proposals to oebliterarysociety@gmail.com by   Friday, September 25th at midnight.
