Conference Involvement

The Eleventh International Arthur Miller Conference was held at Community College of Southern Nevada in October 2006.  Past conferences have been held at Saint Peter's College, NJ, Nicolet College, Rhinelander, WI; Felician College, Lodi, NJ; San Joaquin Delta College, Stockton, CA; St. Francis College, Brooklyn; Millersville University, PA; and Utica College of Syracuse University, NY.  The Society sponsored an American Drama conference at St. Francis College, Brooklyn in 2008. Check the AMS Conference archive pages for lists of papers presented at these past conferences.  Many of these conferences have been tied in with a performance of a particular Miller play.  We are always seeking new conference venues for future years, and would welcome any suggestions--please contact the President, Jane Dominik directly.  Please check out the events page for more details on upcoming conferences and calls for papers.  Anyone can present at these conferences, but we especially encourage members to become involved.

Since 1996 the society has been a member of the American Literature Association, at whose annual meetings they host at least one panel, as well as  society meetings and possible screenings.  For the 2008 ALA conference in San Francisco, please contact Jan Balakian if you are interested in taking part.  If you are interested in organizing panels for other conferences, such as ATHE, MLA or American Studies, please let Jane Dominik know of your interest.

There have also been occasional special conferences, such as the one at Kean University in February 1999 which discussed the influence of the Holocaust on Miller's work, and was organized to coincide with a performance of Playing For Time.
