Race, Gender and Nationality in Shakespeare
Undergraduate Shakespeare Conference
November 13-14, 1998
Susquehanna University
Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania
We invite you to send students from a Shakespeare / Renaissance Drama /
Early Modern Literature class to participate in the Fourth Annual Undergraduate
Shakespeare Conference to be held at Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania
on November 14 and 15, 1998.
This conference seeks performances, film sessions, workshop discussions, interactive
presentations and papers concerning race and gender issues in Shakespeare. Special
consideration will be given to work on Titus Andronicus, Othello, Richard III, The
Tempest, Twelfth Night, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Shakespeare's sonnets. The
conference will include special sessions on Shakespeare and Film, Shakespeare in
Performance, workshops on Othello and Shakespeare's sonnets, and traditional sessions
where papers will be presented.
Designed to foster scholarship at the undergraduate level, this conference provides a
forum where undergraduates may discuss, share ideas, and present research with excitement,
confidence and fluency, and encourages connections between people interested in
Shakespeare. Abstracts of papers, performances, film sessions, and performance sessions
are due Friday, October 30, 1998. Papers should be about 7-9 pages long (reading time
about 15 minutes). Those interested in joining a workshop should also submit abstracts
highlighting points for a 3-5 minute presentation they will deliver as part of the
workshop itself.
The conference will start at 2:00, Friday, November 13, 1998, and sessions will continue
through Saturday afternoon. Please announce the conference to your students and join us in
November.
Susquehanna University is covering the cost of registration for all participants.
