So...what would it take to get you to Leeds next year? I'm organizing at least one session, maybe more if I can get enough speakers. Right now I've got two papers (a session is usually three, sometimes four) lined up on prostitution in the 16th C (still looking for a snappy title connecting the topic with pleasure...maybe Prostitution: Power and Pleasure), a paper by me on names of courtesans in early 16th C Rome, and a paper by someone in Northshield on "Dangerous Women of the Reformation: Prostitution imagery and the Power of Women Theme in German Renaissance Prints", and I'm hoping to collect more proposals from others.

The DISTAFF sessions are always lots of fun, and well-attended.
