As an affiliated organization of the MLA, the SCE has two standing panels at each annual convention. Usually, SCE programs grow out of continuing projects that Society members pursue. One of this year's sessions revisits an early SCE project, Men in Feminism. The other explores one of the trademark cultural products of New Orleans, the MLA's host city this year - jazz.

The presenters - and in the case of "Writing Jazz," the papers - for each of these panels are listed below. Because the SCE attempts to devote conference panels to discussion rather than merely to presentation, we hope to make summaries of the papers available soon.
