Conferences, Conferences and more Conferences

So, you are a Ph.D. student . . . now what? Why not try out some conferences, propose a paper or join a panel! One of the best ways to find out what is going on in the world of conferences is through upenn.edu.

UPenn.edu offers a list subscribing service which updates information weekly on conferences around the world, calls for papers and new literary ezines or magazines. By following the instructions below, you too can stay informed and up to date. Everything delivered right to your email box!

SUBSCRIBING/UNSUBSCRIBING
-------------------------

To subscribe to the list, address a message to

listserv@english.upenn.edu

Do NOT send subscription messages to cfp@english.upenn.edu. The subject line can be anything, but the body of the message should read

subscribe cfp

There should be nothing else: no name, no e-mail address. You should receive a confirmation message after a few minutes. If you have any questions, contact the editor at the address below.

To unsubscribe, address a message to

listserv@english.upenn.edu

(not cfp@english.upenn.edu!) with just "unsubscribe cfp" in the body of the message (don't include your name or address).

To change your address on the CFP list, send an unsubscribe message from your old account, and then login to your new account and resubscribe from that one.

HTML-encoded text is sometimes hard to read and fouls up the automatic subscription system, so you should send your message as "plain text" (aka. ASCII text) in the body of the message. You might have to turn off the HTML-encoding option on your email in order to do this. Also, please make sure to turn off all forms of encryption and MIME-encoding before sending your message.

The Majordomo software on which the CFP list is run, I'm afraid, has no facility for digests and no "nomail" option. Also, we cannot send announcements only in a given field or fields of interest within English and American Literature. Those who find the volume of mail too high should rely on the Web archive; those who wish to stop receiving mail for a short while should simply unsubscribe and resubscribe later.
