1. 2014 SNS CONFERENCE

It's almost two years since the highly successful 2012 Novel Worlds Conference took place at Duke University. (See photos from the conference HERE).

The second annual conference, "Land and the Novel," is now in the planning stages. It is scheduled to take place in Salt Lake City, 4-6 April, 2014 and is sponsored by the Society for Novel Studies (SNS). 

PLEASE SAVE THESE DATES.  We will post announcements of this event on this website as soon as we receive more information from the planning committee. And stay tuned for the call for papers, which will follow soon after.

The journal's editorial board is certain that this conference will continue the tradition of high intellectual quality and provocative discussion established by the 2007 and 2012 conference.

2. ONE-DAY SYMPOSIUM AT DUKE UNIVERSITY

On October 18, 2013, Novel: A Forum on Fiction will sponsor a one-day conference dedicated to "The Novel and the Anthropocene."  Planned by Duke graduate students, this conference features three scholars whose current research focuses on difference aspects and historical periods of this relationship. More details to follow.
