Place and Displacement: Papers from the Mennonite/s Writing VIII conference

Vol. 10, No. 2

In this issue we are pleased to offer a variety of papers from Mennonite/s Writing VIII: Narratives of Place and Displacement, a conference held in cooperation with the Chair of Mennonite studies, Royden Loewen, at the University of Winnipeg in October 2017. Kyle Gerber's reflections on the conference widen our understanding of the impact of the conference. We view our issue as a companion to the Journal of Mennonite Studies Summer 2018 volume, which will feature another selection of essays from the conference.
