The twenty-seventh annual meeting of the Society for Utopian Studies
will be held in Orlando, Florida, October 24-27, 2002 at the Four
Points Sheraton Downtown. Founded in 1975, the Society is an
international, interdisciplinary association devoted to the study of
utopianism in all its forms, with a particular emphasis on literary
and experimental utopias. Scholars representing a wide variety of
disciplines are active in the association and approach utopian
studies from such diverse backgrounds as American Studies,
Architecture, the Arts, Classics, Cultural Studies, Economics,
Engineering, Environmental Studies, Gender Studies, History,
Languages and Literatures, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology,
Sociology and Urban Planning. The Society publishes the journal
Utopian Studies and a newsletter, Utopus Discovered, which contains
information about upcoming conferences and workshops, and a
bibliography of recent publications in the field. The Society's
annual meetings provide an ideal venue for intellectual interchange
in a cooperative, non-competitive, congenial, and convivial
environment. At each meeting the Society presents the Arthur O. Lewis
Award for the best paper by a junior scholar given at the previous
annual meeting and the Eugenio Battisti Award for the best article in
each volume of our journal, Utopian Studies.

Membership in the Society includes announcements regarding the annual
meeting, as well as subscriptions to Utopian Studies and Utopus
Discovered. Dues are $45.00 for regular membership, $20.00 for
students,
retired and unemployed, and $75.00 for libraries and institutions. One
