Conference Announcement / Call for Papers
Shakespeare Association of America
Vancouver Venue for 1991 Meeting
Twenty-two workshops and research seminars will be
among the offerings at the nineteenth annual meeting of the
Shakespeare Association of America, 21-23 March 1991, in
Vancouver, British Columbia. The Four Seasons Hotel will be
the site of all workshops, seminars, and major sessions.
Anthony Dawson (University of British Columbia) will serve as
chair of the Local Arrangements Committee.
Members of the SAA have a choice of two workshops and
twenty research seminars scheduled for Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday afternoons in Vancouver.
Workshops allow members the opportunity to tailor
existing skills or to develop new abilities in their careers
as teachers, scholars, and contributors to theatrical
endeavors. In order to promote an atmosphere most conducive
to productive workshops, leaders of workshops may choose to
close the sessions to auditors. Research seminars offer
members an opportunity to develop and share their research on
a topic with other scholars with similar interests.
Every member of the SAA not already committed to take
part in a major session of the program may participate in one
workshop or research seminar. All registration forms must
reach the SAA Administrative Offices no later than
15 September, 1990.
