Following on the Durrell 2012 centenary celebration in London hosted by 
the British Library and Goodenough College, the 18th biannual conference 
of the International Lawrence Durrell Society will take place in 
Vancouver, British Columbia, at Fairleigh Dickinson University.

Papers and panels on all aspects of Durrell’s works or those of his 
milieu are welcome. Paper and panel proposals related to "place" are 
particularly encouraged. Relevant themes may include Durrell’s position 
as a writer during the collapse of the British Empire, the politics of 
place in his various foreign residences (Argentina, Yugoslavia, Cyprus, 
Egypt, etc.), the spatial turn or cultural field in criticism, shifting 
national boundaries in his works and across his life, or the various 
translations across languages and locations in Durrell's work.

*DETAILS & DEADLINES* (extended)

The conference organizers welcome the submission of short abstracts (250 
words) with a short biography (50 words) for proposed PAPERS or COMPLETE 
PANELS by 1 March 2014. Proposals for complete panels should include an 
abstract for the panel as a whole with the names, titles, and 
biographies of each presenter.

All submissions should be sent electronically through the conference 
website:
