Ann Snitow May 9, 1943-August 10, 2019 Ann Snitow, a founding faculty member of Lang College and the creator of the Gender Studies Program at the New School, passed away on August 10, 2019. She was a beloved member of the Literary Studies faculty. While indeed her books and essays are crucial texts in feminist studies and in the life of the mind, as Literary Studies colleagues our remembrances here are more personal, testaments not just to her work but to the power of her being.

The Paper Shell Review is now accepting submissions from undergraduate students. Submission by a single author should not exceed three essays. E-mail essays as Microsoft Word attachments to papershellreview@gmail.com. Submissions for this year’s issue will be accepted until Saturday, February 13, 2016 at 11:59pm (EST).
For the first time, this issue of The Paper Shell Review will have a theme: movement. This is only a soft theme that is open to interpretation; we recommend that authors submit an essay for consideration even if it does not rigidly adhere to the theme. Essays will still be reviewed predominantly for quality of content.
All papers must be double-spaced, in Times New Roman font, numbered, and formatted with one-inch margins. Papers should not exceed 20 pages, but exceptions may be made for essays of superb quality. Essays must follow the Modern Language Association style guidelines as defined in the MLA Guidelines for Writers of Research Papers (latest edition).
The e-mail body accompanying any paper should include the author’s full name, undergraduate institution, current year (freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior), paper title, and contact information (e-mail, phone number, current address, and permanent address). The journal is published in print in April and on-line in May on the UMD English Department website.
A previous issue of the journal can be viewed here.
Thank you for your time, and we look forward to reading the submissions!
