Call for Participants

Symposium: "Staging the Feminine: The Arts of the Prima Donna, 
1720-1920," 14-16 July 2006

This event will assemble a group of scholars from Great Britain, Europe, 
and North America whose scholarship focuses on issues concerning divas 
and the myriad cultures in which they circulate.

The format for this symposium is distinct from the paper presentation / 
Q&A sessions that are typical of most conferences. The event will 
consist of round-table sessions in which panelists and audience members 
participate in discussions focusing on varied topics concerning the 
present state of research on the diva and diva culture. For each 
session, we envisage four panelists will deliver short, ten-minute 
position papers geared toward generating conversation among all 
participants at the symposium. Presentations on work-in-progress are 
welcome. We hope to achieve two important goals from these sessions: 
first, to create and nurture the community of scholars conducting 
research on singers, both within and outside the discipline of 
musicology; and second, to establish a plan for a larger conference (of 
the more typical format) to occur in the summer or fall of 2007.

Although participation in the symposium is by invitation, five places 
have been made available for interested scholars by application.  If you 
would like to attend, please send a curriculum vitae, with details of 
your diva-related research interests and publications (as appropriate), 
and an outline of what you would like to contribute to the symposium. 
Postgraduate students (graduate students in the US) are particularly 
encouraged to apply.  Applications should be sent electronically to 
r.e.cowgill em leeds.ac.uk and porisshr em ucmail.uc.edu, to arrive no later 
than 31 March 2006.  Applicants will be notified of the result by 7 April.
