The conference will be held in Red Cloud and will open on June 3 with a Scholars' Symposium, presenting papers on the conference topic. (See call for papers below.) The two following days will feature a variety of events for Cather readers and scholars: lively discussions with Cather scholars, historians, and cooks; kitchen tours at Cather historic sites, with samplings of Cather-related foods; wine tastings, a keynote address by Professor Susan Meyer of Wellesley College, and a barn dance supper based on Cather's Nebraska story, "The Bohemian Girl. " O Pioneers! and "The Bohemian Girl" will be the featured texts for the conference, but discussions will range throughout Cather's writing.
