We are announcing the second Call for Papers for the WIF panel at the South Central Modern Language Association 2020 conference at the Whitehall Hotel in Houston, Texas, October 8-10, 2020. This year's theme is "Politics of Protest," but you may propose a paper on any topic related to the study of French and Francophone women authors, the study of women's place in French and Francophone cultures or literature, and/or feminist literary criticism. If there is sufficient interest, SCMLA will allow us to have 2 sessions.
The deadline for all abstracts has been extended. Please send a 250-300 word abstract in French or English on any topic by April 10, 2020 to the Chair: Theresa Kennedy, Baylor University, (Theresa_Kennedy@baylor.edu). The SCMLA is paying close attention to the evolving situation with COVID-19, and will act accordingly. SCMLA will update members if any change of plans becomes necessary.

All conference participants must reserve their rooms with the Whitehall Hotel by September 22, 2020 in order to receive the conference rate.
