Planners for a May 1-3, 2019 conference on John Steinbeck’s continued relevance invite academics and others to submit proposals for papers on the conference theme—“Steinbeck in the Twenty-First Century: Identity, Influence, and Impact”—for their consideration. Susan Shillinglaw will give the keynote speech at the three-day, two-night event, which will take place in San Jose, California under the auspices of the Martha Heasley Cox Center for Steinbeck Studies and the International Society of Steinbeck Scholars. Submission guidelines can be found at the conference website along with registration forms, logistical details, and information about subsidies for students whose papers are selected for presentation.
