At the SSAWW conference in Philadelphia the Stowe Society, Margaret Fuller Society, and the Catharine Maria Sedgwick Society will sponsor a box lunch on Saturday, 24 October, from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m. in the Bromley/Claypool Room.  The informal agenda will include discussion of collaborative activities among the three societies (and others), past and future.  Stowe’s upcoming bicentennial in 2011, a national conference at Bowdoin College, and a second transatlantic conference will also be on the agenda.

The boxed lunch costs $10.  Those interested should register for the lunch on the registration site for the SSAWW conference. Lunches are free for graduate students, who can register on the same site and simply check the box for graduate students.  The three author societies are subsidizing the cost of the lunches.
