Steve, Your message below says that today is the deadline for submission, but the web site says October 1. Which is correct? Also, I cannot be there the Thursday of the conference (Nov. 6). Should I submit a paper which is accepted, is there a mechanism to ensure that I'm not set for a Thursday presentation? Thanks, Paul *********************************************************************** RESEARCH IN POLITICAL ECONOMY, Paul Zarembka, editor, Elsevier Science ******************** http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/PZarembka On Tue, 9 Sep 2003, Stephen Cullenberg wrote: > JOIN WITH Michael Hardt * Antonio Negri * Slavoj Zizek * Saskia > Sassen * Leo Panitch * Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak * Jim Crotty * > Richard Wolff * Eiman Zein-Elabdin * Amitava Kumar * Okwui Enwezor * > Susan Jahoda * Stephen Resnick * Julie Graham * Stephen Cullenberg * > Jack Amariglio * S.
