Re: Marxism and the World Stage CFP

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
