Conference: Women Writing Reading:
Past and Present, Local
and Global
University of Alberta
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
4-6 May
2007
This three day conference, being held at the University of Alberta, offers a
forum for academics and the wider community to discuss issues around the theme
of women as writers and readers. The aim of the conference is to explore these
issues in the past and present, and in a local and global context. We invite
contributions from a wide variety of perspectives – social, literary, artistic,
historical, political, economic, scientific, legal, philosophical, and so on.
What, why, and how do women read and write? What conditions shape women’s
reading and writing? What is the relationship between women’s reading and
writing?
This conference will overlap for one day on Friday, May 4 with Rooms of Their
Own: Women in the Knowledge Economy and Society, a Royal Society of Canada
conference. Join us for the three day WWR conference only or register for both
conferences and receive a discount on registration
fees.
