WCWSocRome 2019 : William Carlos Williams and Europe

William Carlos Williams Society Biennial Roundtable Conference
19-21 June 2019
“Williams and Europe”
Center for American Studies, Via Michelangelo Caetani 32, Rome, Italy.

The conference theme is “Williams and Europe” and those wishing to present their work are encouraged to submit proposals that range near to and beyond any of the following suggestions: Williams and Futurism; Williams and the Classics; Williams and religion; Williams abroad; Williams and translation; Williams and medicine; Williams and Rome.
Since its inception in 2005 the Williams Society Biennial Conference has adopted a roundtable format which allows the work of up to 12 scholars to be presented in one hour slots across the two days of presentations. The bulk of those one hour slots is given to fielding questions from the audience and fellow presenters. To facilitate this audience participation those registered to attend will be sent copies of the works to be presented in advance of the meeting. Thus there are two deadlines for the conference. The first is for the receipt of proposals of 200 words and a brief CV from those wishing to present to be received by 27 January 2019, and sent to: [email protected]. Then for those accepted, there is a second deadline of 3 June 2019 to receive a written piece of around 15 pages for circulation in advance of the meeting.
