ICFA 27 - CfP Change of Address
If you've already printed off a copy of the CfP for next March's conference (available in various formats on the website at www.iafa.org), you might want to print off another copy.
The Division Head for The Fantastic in Children's and Young Adult Literature and Art has had to change his snail mail contact address (see previous announcement for the reason). His email address has not changed.
The information has been updated on the CfP available on the website as of May 17, 2005.
The Call for Papers for next March's conference is available for download in various formats; just go to the association's website at www.iafa.org, and click on your preferred format to download the CfP and print it off for posting in your departments or passing along to a colleague.

Congratulations, Joe!
Joe Sutliff Sanders, IAFA's newest Division Head (CYA) and one of the founders of SCIAFA, the association's student caucus, has landed a position teaching in the Department of English at Illinois Wesleyan University.
"The funniest part of the experience," says Joe, "is that I proposed a slate of classes to them they liked, all except one. I proposed a World Literature course because I wanted to show that I can do it all, and they said that though it was a cool course, that would make me overlap too much with some other professor. So they said, and I quote, 'But I see here you have an interest in comic books; could I talk you into teaching a course on that?'"
Joe will be teaching on families in literature, children in literature, and 19th-century US women's culture. And comics.
Congratulations again, Joe, and best wishes from your colleagues in IAFA.
