Call for papers:

NO SENSE OF DISCIPLINE:
An International Conference on Interdisciplinarity

The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia

Monday and Tuesday, 11 and 12 June, 2001

Confirmed plenary speakers:

Professor Sander Gilman, University of Chicago
Professor Linda Hutcheon,  University of Toronto
Professor Michael Hutcheon, University of Toronto
Professor Helen Tiffin, University of Queensland.

This is the first of a series of biennial conferences to alternate
between
the University of Queensland and the University of Toronto.

Our focus is the testing of the borders between LITERATURE and/or
MEDICINE
and/or MUSIC, but we are equally interested in papers that consider ways
in
which any of these disciplines intersects with and illuminates a further
discipline--architecture, art history, classical studies, cultural
studies,
environmental studies, geography, history, law, media studies,
philosophy,
psychology, or urban studies, for example.  We encourage the crossing of
period as well as disciplinary boundaries.

Participants are invited to address their own particular and current
interdisciplinary interest/s, or to critique methodologies and theories
of
interdisciplinarity.

There will be three plenary meetings, accompanied by a number of panels
that will consist of three papers of twenty minutes each, with fifteen
minutes' question time.

We invite proposals for twenty-minute papers, or for panels of three
papers.   Abstracts of 250 words should reach us by email or mail on or
before January 30, 2001.
