We are particularly interested in inter-textual approaches and papers treating topics such as race, gender, class, history, New Orleans, narrative technique, and the role of the artist. Proposals for organized panels are also encouraged.
In addition to the paper sessions, the conference will include a keynote address, dramatic readings based on the works of Faulkner and Chopin, exhibits from the University’s Faulkner and Chopin collections, and an historic tour of the local area.
