In recent years, scholars have begun cultivating hybrid theorizations and readings of Victorian literature and culture in order to gain more nuanced understandings of this era\u2019s green views. The 2008 NAVSA\/ACCUTE panel organizer invites proposals of 250 to 500 words by November 12, 2007 for 20-minute talks that address issues related to Victorian perspectives on nature. Of particular interest is scholarship that addresses elements of environmentalism explicitly or explores the green implications of related issues.
