Proposal

I would like to have a Wheaton Research Partnership student to assist me as the main organizer of the 14^th annual conference of the Society for the Study of the Space Between.  Co-sponsored by Wheaton this conference will be held at Brown University June 2012.  The student would work on all aspects of the conference organization, such as updating the society’s membership database, creating a conference list-serve, identifying relevant professional list-serves, circulating the call for papers, liaising with the society’s board and conference committee, and answering queries.

The student would also help me with my book on British First World War literature, completing some newspaper research necessary to my final revisions, checking quotations, and finding missing citations as I prepare the final manuscript.
