Support for Child Care

Both the SCS and the Women’s Classical Caucus provide subsidies for registrants who make arrangements for child care with local providers in Chicago so that they can attend annual meeting sessions or placement interviews. Information on obtaining support from the SCS is available from Heather Gasda in the SCS Office (heatherh@sas.upenn.edu).

Announcement of Seminar at 2014 Annual Meeting

The Program Committee has approved a proposal to offer a seminar at the 2014 Annual Meeting in Chicago. Full details of this session appears below. Seminars are intended to provide an opportunity for extensive discussion of the papers to be presented. To this end attendance at the seminars will be limited, and the speakers in these sessions have been asked to make their papers available by the end of November so that registrants who attend the sessions can read them in advance. Each will present only a brief summary of his or her paper at the session itself.
