CFP deadline approaching--Society for Utopian Studies Meeting, St. Pete in October

Hello H-Florida subscribers,

 

My name is Justin Nordstrom and I'm writing as the Program Chair for the 2016 meeting of the Society for Utopian Studies (SUS).  This year, the SUS is meeting in St. Pete, and I wanted to help spread the word.  The conference takes place from Oct. 27-30 at the Hilton Bayfront in St. Pete.  Our announced Call for Papers deadline is approach next week (Monday, Aug 15) but I could discuss an extended deadline with our Steering Committee if there was significant interest.
