      <td>The Association for the Study of Literature and Environment
invites
proposals for its Ninth Biennial Conference, June 21-26, 2011, at
Indiana University Bloomington, on the theme "Species, Space, and the
Imagination of the Global." We seek proposals for papers, panels,
roundtables, workshops, and other public presentations connecting
language, nature, and culture. As always, we welcome interdisciplinary
approaches; readings of environmentally inflected fiction, poetry, and
creative nonfiction; and proposals from outside the academic
humanities, including submissions from artists, writers, practitioners,
activists, and colleagues in the social and natural sciences.
      <p>The conference theme seeks to engage with questions of humans'
relation to nonhuman species, both plant and animal, and to explore
intersections between work on nonhuman species in disciplines such as
biology, anthropology, philosophy, neuroscience, literature, and art.
Our goal is to do so in a transnational framework that will allow us to
reflect on how different historical, geographical and cultural contexts
shape our encounters with the natural world and with environmental
crises. </p>
      <p>All proposals must be submitted by Friday, November 5, 2010,
via the conference website.<br>
Notifications of accepted and rejected proposals will be e-mailed by
February 15, 2011. </p>
