Universally Inviting Theme: “The Spacious Ark of Eighteenth-Century Studies”  
The officers of SCSECS would like to invite all our friends, colleagues, and supporters to submit panels, papers, and, in sum, proposals. Below you will find a slate of those panels that have already been accepted for the SCSECS meeting.

If you would like to present a paper, first peruse the panel list to determine whether a panel fits your topic. If you find such a panel, please send your paper proposal to the seminar chair shown in the entry. If, however, you don’t find a suitable panel, please send your proposal to SCSECS President Kevin L. Cope (plushtoy@bellsouth.net) who will place it in a pertinent panel once the program evolves to its mature, complete form.

We are also accepting still accepting proposals for panels until November 22, 2005. If you would like to propose a panel, please write Kevin Cope at the address shown above. Panels may be submitted in the most general form, as calls for submissions from the profession at large, or may be submitted in completed, filled form (with a slate of paper presenters recruited by the panel chair), or may be submitted in “mixed” form, partially filled with presenters in anticipation of further recruitments. No scholar should be discouraged from presenting. If you can’t find what you need for your offering here, write to Kevin and he’ll work it out for you!
