The Emerson Society sponsors a panel at the Thoreau Society Annual Gathering each summer in Concord, MA (July 8-12, 2021). For information on the conference theme, please visit www.thoreausociety.org. We will consider papers both on the topic below and the conference theme more generally.
“Other Views of Emerson’s Writing and Activism”
The Ralph Waldo Emerson Society invites proposals on the topic of “Other Views of Emerson’s Writing and Activism.” The Society particularly welcomes proposals that explore historical and current perspectives on Emerson in terms of gender, class, race, religion, nationality, or culture.
E-mail 300 word abstracts to Joseph Urbas ([email protected]) by Feb. 7, 2021. Membership of the Ralph Waldo Emerson Society is required of presenters.
