Help with Philosophy assignment needed

[Jeroun]

I didn't know where to post this but this sub-forum seemed the most appropriate.
I have a problem with research for a 'paper': I have to do a 5-page assignment on Susanne K. Langer (a recent art philosopher). There are no troubles with writing about her theories but I do have another problem: we have to find journals, societies, conferences which are dedicated to her philosophy. I've looked everywhere: university sources, epistemelinks.com, even google, etc. The text about Langer did say she has little or no importance in philosophy now: it could be that they just don't exist.

So my question is: am I searching in the wrong places or do these things (journals dedicated to her for example) simply do not exist?

I don't know if there are any (ex-)philosophy students here but I thought I'd ask it anyway.

Did you use your university's database of journals...EBSCO, etc? Try Villanova University's library system...you'll probably have limited access to their resources but that's the philosocropolis of research. If you still can't come up with something, I'll refer you to a university professor I know who specializes in this stuff.
