Description:
As we in academia march dutifully into the new millennium, the boundaries
that once divided our areas of study have begun to fade
noticeably. Universities frequently conflate once-separate History,
Literature, and Philosophy courses into semester-long seminars in "The
Humanities." English departments have co-opted numerous other
disciplines, including psychology, sociology, linguistics, and
ecology; some claim English departments have even abandoned
literature. This conference will address both the problems and benefits
of blurring the boundaries among the liberal arts. The liberal arts have
much to offer each other, but at what cost?
Papers and panels illuminating any aspect of this theme are invited to be delivered at the fifth annual conference of Schuylkill, a scholarly organization dedicated to bringing together graduate students from a variety of regional institutions and departments.
