The 5th Biennial John Updike Society Conference will be held 1-5 June 2018 at the Faculty of Philology, University of Belgrade. Conference director Biljana Dojcinovic has announced that the deadline for proposals for conference papers has been extended to <strong>February 15<\/strong>. All hotel rooms must be booked by March 1, because Belgrade has become an extremely popular tourist destination and early summer the weather is beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>Roundtable discussion panel ideas will also be accepted, if you and colleagues prefer to work in that format rather than presenting a paper and then facing questions afterwards. If you propose a roundtable discussion, please be sure to include the names of all proposed participants\u2014usually four or five.<\/p>\n<p>Details on how to submit a proposal are included below in the PDF registration packet for the conference. Here too you&#8217;ll find a tentative schedule of events and tours and details on keynote speakers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/johnupdikesociety\/files\/2017\/07\/Updike-in-Serbia-registration-1.pdf\">Updike in Serbia registration<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is there anything more difficult than finding the time to write a proposal for a paper topic for an academic conference when you&#8217;re up to your elbows in class prep and student papers to grade?
