History of Women in the Americas
The British Historians of Women in the Americas
(BHWAs) will hold their annual conference on Wednesday
6th July 2011. The conference will be held at
Brunel University, West London, and will run in
parallel with the Feminist and Women’s Studies
Association’s ‘Futures of Feminism’ conference.
We welcome papers on any aspect of women’s and
gender history in North America, South America
and the Caribbean. Papers that investigate women’s
lives from single or multiple vantage points whether
topically or geographically are equally welcome.
Scholars working on related topics are encouraged
to put together a panel of two to four papers.
Speakers at the event will have the opportunity
to submit their paper for consideration in the
BHWAs’ journal, History of Women in the Americas.
The event has two keynote speakers: Professor
Steven Reschly, Truman State University, who will
be speaking about his research on Amish women
and consumer culture, and Professor Catherine
Clinton, Queen’s University Belfast (tbc)
Those interested in attending the conference
as a delegate are also more than welcome. Please
register your interest by Friday 6th May 2011.
