SIXTIES GENERATIONS CONFERENCE:
FROM MONTGOMERY TO VIET NAM
A Conference of Scholars, Activists and Artists

FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA

MARCH 4-6, 1993

SPONSORED BY THE GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY AMERICAN STUDIES PROGRAM,
FILM STUDIES PROGRAM AND AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDIES PROGRAM, AND BY VIET
NAM GENERATION.

We have been very pleased by the response to our call for papers 
and anticipate an exciting interdisciplinary event which will 
include academic presentations, performance art, music and 
literary readings.  We look forward to an extremely lively three days 
in March, and anticipate that this will be the first of an ongoing 
conference series.

The conference committee is in the process of assembling the 
program and we will have a schedule of presentations completed by 
late January.  

We have made arrangements with the Holiday Inn--Fair Oaks for an
extraordinarily reasonable room rate for the DC metropolitan area.
All conference sessions will be held at the Holiday Inn, though other
events--such as films and readings--associated with the conference may
also be taking place off-site.  Rooms at the Holiday in are $55 per
night, single or double occupancy, plus 6.5% tax.  Please make your
reservations as soon as possible by phoning (703) 352-2525, and
mentioning that you are a part of the Vietnam Generation room block.
We encourage you to make your reservations by February 10, 1993.
After that date, rooms are subject to availability and a rate
increase.

Conference pre-registration is $50.  Late registration is $65.  Late
registrations are postmarked after February 20, 1993. We apologize for
the necessity of charging such a high fee, but we are not subsidized
by funding from any university or professional organization.
Registration for students is $30, and xerox of student identification
must be enclosed.  We can also offer an extremely limited number of
hardship waivers for those who simply cannot afford to attend the
conference if they must pay the $50 fee.  Because our capacity to
waive registration fees is so limited, we ask that you request such a
waiver only in the case of the greatest need.

On Friday, March 5 and Saturday, March 6 we will maintain a 
Book Room where copies of your publications can be displayed 
and sold.  The room will be staffed by George Mason University 
student interns.  If you would like your publications to be made 
available at the conference, please let us know as soon as possible 
so that we can make arrangements. The Book Room will be open 
from 9:00 in the morning until 9:00 in the evening on Friday, and 
from 9:00 in the morning until 6:30 in the evening on Saturday.

Post-conference publications:  We anticipate assembling at least 
one anthology of papers presented at the conference, to be 
published by Viet Nam Generation.  If you would like your 
presentation considered for publication as an article, please plan 
on submitting it to Viet Nam Generation at the conference, or by no 
later than March 20, 1993.  We will also be videotaping conference 
sessions, and we will make the tapes available as teaching tools.

We are currently planning on a Welcome Reception on Thursday, 
March 4, from 5:00 to 7:00 in the evening, which will include hors 
d'oeuvres and a Cash Bar.  On Friday and Saturday we will run 
four concurrent tracks (two academic tracks, one activist track 
and one artist track) from 9:00 in the morning until 6:30 in the 
evening.  Sessions in each track will last one-and-a-half hours 
each.  There will be receptions and performances on both 
Friday and Saturday night, which will include music and either 
theater, dance, or readings.
