About the "Worlds Between" academic conference at California State University Northridge
Both critical and creative works will be featured in this conference, which is interested in exploring the concept of the spaces between genres, cultures, times, people, movements, and nations. The possibilities are endless. How do these spaces confine? How do they enable? What moves between? What exists within?
"Worlds Between" is hosted by the Iota Chi Chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the International English Honor Society, and sponsored in part by the CSUN English Department & the Distinguished Speaker Award.
The conference will take place on Saturday, April 27, 2013, on the campus of California State University, Northridge.
