UWP Lecturers 2011 Eaton Conference deadline; Lifetime Achievement Winners Announced

[Rob Latham]

My apologies for cross- and multiple-postings, and my thanks to those  
of you who have already submitted paper proposals. But I wanted to  
send this reminder and update: due to a number of requests, we have  
decided to extend the deadline for submission of paper proposals for  
the 2011 Eaton SF Conference until July 6. The CFP is attached below.  
Please spread the word that the call is still open.

We are interested in proposals on any aspect of the topic "Global  
Science Fiction" or on the work of our author guests, Nalo Hopkinson,  
China Mieville, and Karen Tei Yamashita. Submissions should be sent to  
Melissa Conway at <melissa.conway at ucr.edu>.

Also, the third annual Science Fiction Studies Symposium will be held  
on the Thursday (February 10) preceding the conference, from 2-5 PM,  
on the topic of "The Singularity in SF Literature and Criticism." The  
speakers will be Neil Easterbook, Brooks Landon, and myself.

We are also now pleased to be able to announce the Eaton Lifetime  
Achievement Award Winners for 2010 and 2011 (following Ray Bradbury in  
2008 and Frederik Pohl in 2009). The winner for 2010 is Samuel R.  
Delany, while the 2011 winner is Harlan Ellison, who will be present  
to receive his award.

best,

Rob
