Chick Lit and Chick Flicks-Legitimate Genres or Marketing Ghettos?
(Politics, Religion, and Money)
"Chick Lit" and "Chick Flicks" are terms that are thrown around a lot in advertising and other media and are often used negatively. Are there any legitimate uses of the terms? Is this just another way for a male-dominated society to disparage works that address the lives and concerns of women?

Sunday, 10:00-11:15 a.m. in Conference Room 5

"The Ecology of Joy" -- I've never heard that phrase before. What a wonderful concept! I hope the panel goes well.

Having just finished reading Bridget Jones's Diary and also having just finished writing a novel in which the domestic sphere and relationships are the most important thing in the story, I'm really interested in the Chick Lit panel.

But right now, my main worry is actually gettting there and not becoming lost/stranded somewhere en route. I will start thinking seriously about the programme once I'm safely in Madison. *g*
