Call for papers

Although presentations on any aspect of Miller's writing, artwork, and life are welcomed, the conference organizers particularly encourage consideration of the theme of Miller's place in the 21st Century, and how his work serves as a bridge commenting on fundamental human truths from the past to the present day.

Topics for presentations might include, but not limited to:

• Why was Henry Miller a revolutionary writer?
• In what way is Henry Miller still relevant for 21st century readers?
• What areas of scholarship on Miller still need to be explored?
• How has your perspective on Miller changed over the years?
• Are any of Miller's books more (or less) relevant now than in the 20th century?

Please submit abstracts (300 words maximum) for 20-minute presentations and short biographical notes stating affiliation (150 words) no later than January 15, 2025, to jdecker@icc.edu. 

Confirmation of acceptance: February 15, 2025

An edited volume of essays featuring selected (and expanded) papers from the conference will be published in book form.
