Good Afternoon ABQ English and Writer Fam!
I hope you are well with work, jobs, careers, school, writing, and your own individual happenings. As you may or may not have heard fellow MFA alum Casandra Lopez and I (Tanaya Winder) started a literary journal. As/Us: A Literary Space for Women of the World. I'm starting to outreach to folks to say I'm going to be blasting you on NYE and soon after to help spread the word about our literary journal when it drops like the ball in times square on NYE. I feel like I've been emailing people a lot for different things, fundraisers, etc and not to spamalot (oh wait that's a musical) so I'm just giving you a heads up and hoping you'll help direct people to our site http://asusjournal.org/ when it's up and running with our fabulous and fierce 21 female contributors. I'm hoping we can get 500 "likes" on our page www.facebook.com/As.Us.Journal by Jan 31st and a lot of traffic to our site once we go live NYE.
We have several contributors from the ABQ area and so Cassie and I will be working on trying to set up benefit/fundraising readings in the area during the spring when she is in the area for her residency. If any of you feel like you can help with that process or wouldn't mind reading and bringing your own individual followings as well, let me know. If you can't tell, I'm very excited for the first issue to come out. While we only have a handful of international contributors at this point, I'm hoping with your help with can share more voices of women from different areas in the world in due time.
Thanks for your support and for your own words and all you do. I know you each have your own writing, projects, organizations you support, etc., so if you or a place you support wants to be added to our Links page, let me know and Cassie and I will gladly support and promote you as well. http://asusjournal.org/links/

British Women Writers Conference at UNM in April 2013
Looking forward to April 2013!
The English department at the University of New Mexico is pleased to be hosting the 2013 British Women Writers Conference. The conference will be April 4-6, 2013 at the Hyatt in downtown Albuquerque, NM. The conference theme is “Customs,” and we look forward to a wide range of unique presentations on the topic. Please see: http://2013bwwc.com/ for detailed description of the conference and topics.The 2013 British Women Writers Conference will center around the theme of “Customs.” Customs are often thought of as the habits or social norms that dictate behavior, sometimes so rigidly that they appear to be laws. Conversely, though, “custom” can refer to a product or service tailored to the “customer’s” individual specifications, or the taxes or duties on imports/exports, the governmental department charged with implementing such fees, or the place in which all items entering a country from foreign parts are examined for contraband. Regardless of its particular connotation, “custom” denotes a sense of rigidity, restriction, or control; it is these forms of social, economic, and/or personal limitations that we wish to explore with this year’s conference. Prospective panelists are encouraged to think of “customs” broadly as the term might apply to British and Transatlantic women writers and their often-underrepresented contributions to literary studies.
Please send abstracts of 250 words for panel proposals by November 15, 2012 and for individual paper presentations by December 15, 2012 to BWWC2013@gmail.com.

Call for Papers: International Conference on Medievalism
Medievalism, Arthuriana, and Landscapes of Enchantment
The conference committee for Studies in Medievalism is pleased to invite
paper and session proposals for its 26th Annual International Conference on
Medievalism, to be held at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, on

The theme of this year's conference is “Medievalism, Arthuriana, and

post-medieval periods. As an interdisciplinary organization, we also
encourage proposals from all areas of the humanities, social sciences, and
beyond, particularly proposals that address interdisciplinary themes or
employ interdisciplinary theories and methods. Post-medieval interest in
Arthuriana has flourished unabatedly since the 19th-century medieval

Fichte’s From Camelot to Obamalot: Essays on Medieval and Modern
Arthurian Literature.
Subthemes for the conference might include, but are not limited to:
Re-imaginings of important Arthurian figures (King Arthur, Guinevere,

Call For Papers: Texas Tech Comparative Literature Symposium
The 2010 Texas Tech University Comparative Literature Symposium on "American Studies as Transnational Practice"
April 9-10, 2010 at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas, U. S. A.
Texas Tech University houses the internationally known Southwest Collections and the Vietnam Archives. Spring in Lubbock is mild and sunny.
Keynote Speakers:
Eva Cherniavsky, Department of English, University of Washington
Colleen Lye, Department of English, University of California at Berkeley
Walter Mignolo, Department of Literature, Duke University
Donald Pease, Department of English, Dartmouth College
Art Exhibition:
Margarita Cabrera, Mexican artist living in El Paso, “US Immigration Policy and Maquiladora Practices”
Joomi Chung, Korean artist resident in Miami, Ohio, “Installation Art about South Korean-U.S. Relations”
Scott Townsend, U.S. visual artist in Raleigh, North Carolina, “Interactive Installation and Film on ‘Border Relations’”
Qingsong Wang, Chinese photographer based in Shanghai, “Photography and the Consumerist Invasion of China”
Proposal Submission Deadline: January 18, 2010
American Studies as transnational practice not only raises questions on the changing roles that the United States has played as a great power in the global arena since the late nineteenth century, but also calls attention to its own disciplinary premises, interests, and imaginaries in relation to area studies and comparative literature. As American Studies has recently intervened in U.S. exceptionalism and neoliberal capitalism in its critique of discourses that vary from “manifest destiny” to “market democracy,” it also foregrounds its own formation as a product of the Cold War and its renewed influence in the post-socialist regimes in China, Russia, and East Europe. Meanwhile, with new paradigm shifts in transnational and global studies that encompass transoceanic, hemispheric, and planetary consciousness, how does American Studies negotiate and reconfigure its own field imaginaries and boundaries? If Hemispheric Studies highlights the issue of “the Americas,” how would its critical disposition “provincialize” American Studies? If the westward movement was central to U.S. nation-building and the national imaginary, how do the generations of Mexican presence in the Southwest as well as more recent northward migrations of Latinos/as impact the U.S. consciousness as simultaneously old and new national narratives? If Trans-Atlantic movements have informed and reshaped U.S. literary, cultural, and historical experiences, then what new possibilities would Trans-Pacific movements pose for American Studies in the twenty-first century? What are the new opportunities and challenges if we reconsider U.S. literature, history, and culture in planetary terms?
This symposium invites presentations that investigate the theory and praxis involving American Studies in transnational contexts at various historical junctures, and seeks projects that explore specific cases in U.S. history, literature, and culture with global dimensions and implications. We welcome proposals that examine American Studies from U.S. regional locales and global sites as well as abstracts that reconsider U.S. historical and cultural experiences in transnational and planetary frameworks.
Topics may include but are not restricted to the following:
-- Rethinking the Boundaries among American Studies, Area Studies, and Comparative Literature
-- Empire, Race, and Trans-Atlantic Studies
-- Race, Gender, and Class in Transnational American Studies
-- The Local and the Global in Trans-Pacific Studies
-- Borderland, Natural Environment, and Planetary Consciousness
-- Border Crossing and Critical Cosmopolitanism
-- Border Literature, Chicano/a Theory, and Hemispheric Studies
-- American Studies and Post-socialism in China, Russia, and Eastern European Countries
-- The Trans-Pacific Movement of Asians in Diaspora
-- Wall Street and the Future of “Market Democracy”
-- Westward Movement and U.S. Southwestern Literature
-- Colonialism and Neocolonialism in Asia, Africa, and Latin America
-- Global and Local Wars: Displacement, Migration, and Expulsion
