    About The Society for Utopian Studies: www.utoronto.ca/utopia
    Founded in 1975, the Society for Utopian Studies is an international,
interdisciplinary association devoted to the study of utopianism in all
its forms. Scholars and practitioners representing a wide variety of
disciplines and endeavors are active in the association and approach
utopian studies from such diverse backgrounds as American studies,
architecture, the arts, classics, cultural studies, economics,
engineering, environmental studies, gender studies, history, languages
and literature, philosophy, political science, psychology, sociology and
urban planning. The Society encourages participation from those involved
in communal living and other utopian arrangements. The Society publishes
a journal, Utopian Studies, and a newsletter, Utopus Discovered. The
latter contains information on upcoming conferences and workshops, as
well as a bibliography of recent Publications in the field.

    Meetings of the Society for Utopian Studies are ideal occasions for
intellectual interchange in a co-operative, non-competitive, congenial,
and convivial environment. At each meeting the Society presents the
Arthur O. Lewis Award for the best paper by a junior scholar given at
the previous annual meeting, and the Eugenio Battisti Award for the best
article in each volume of Utopian Studies.
