Monday, October 22nd, 2018

Dear Narrative Society friends,

Due to a number of extenuating circumstances, the dates of the 2019 International Conference on Narrative has been changed to May 30 to June 1, 2019. The conference website has been updated: https://www.unav.edu/web/narrative-2019.

The plenary speakers will remain the same, and the deadline for proposals remains January 15, 2019 (send to narrative2019@gmail.com)

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience; the change had to be made for the best Narrative Conference experience possible! (We’re the BEST conference!)

If you have any questions, please do feel free contact me or the conference organizers, Professor Rocío G. Davis (rgdavis@unav.es) Professor Rosalía Baena (rbaena@unav.es).

Thank you as always for your understanding and good cheer!
Sincerely,
Sue
