The ISS was
founded in the U.S.A. in 2004 to give Shaw Studies more of an international
reach and perspective. The acronym “ISS” emphasizes Bernard Shaw’s
continuing presence as a talkative spirit with very relevant things to say,
often of the hyperbolic, satiric, paradoxical, and ironic sort. “Smiling comedy,” he called it. |

ISS Conferences and Symposia, have occurred in the U.S.A., Canada, Ireland, and the UK. Alas, due to the Pandemic, the ISS conference scheduled for
May 2020 in Cáceres, Spain, with “Shaw and Europe" as its theme, had to be canceled, but it has been rescheduled for 2022
at the end of May. Send paper proposals to Gustavo A. Rodriguez Martin garoma@unex.es. The annual Summer Shaw Symposium at the internationally
renowned Shaw Festival Theatre in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, scheduled for
July of 2021, was canceled, but a Zoom Symposium replaced it. See https://shawsymposium2021.weebly.com/
for an example of an ISS Zoomed Symposium. The Shaw Festival Theatre (shawfest.com) has announced a
full season of plays for 2022, which encourages the ISS to plan for an actual
Symposium, scheduled for July 22-23-24, during which Shaw’s Too True To Be Good and The Doctor’s Dilemma will be staged. The play calendar will soon be available at
shawfest.com. A Call For Papers will be announced in January 2022. |
