Each was a submission invited by the editor. Franklin also participated in four conference panels, one at the Victorian Interdisciplinary Studies Association conference, two at the annual meeting of the Council of Colleges of Arts and Sciences, and one as an invited speaker on the poetry of James Applewhite at the East Carolina University annual Literary Homecoming. His two essays currently in press are “Buddhism and Modern Existential Nihilism: Jean-Paul Sartre Meets Nagarjuna,” in the Journal of Religion and Literature, and “The Economics of Immortality: The Demi-Immortal Oriental, Enlightenment Vitalism, and Political Economy in Dracula” in Cahiers victoriens & édouardiens. …  Amy Barton, professor and associate dean for Clinical and Community Affairs, and the Daniel and Janet Mordecai Chair in Rural Health at the College of Nursing at the University of Colorado Denver, gave the welcome address at the National Nursing Centers Consortium (NNCC) member conference Nov. 28 in Philadelphia.
