Meddelelser 1996 BERKSHIRE CONFERENCE ON THE HISTORY OF WOMEN CALL FOR PAPERS

The 10th Berkshire Conference on the History of Women, »Complicating Categories: Women, Gender, and Difference«, will be held on June 7-9 at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA. The Program Committee welcomes proposals that address questions of identity and representation, regional and international perspectives on social difference and power, historical and historiographical authority, and changing disciplinary trends. The Conference encourages international participation.

We prefer submissions of proposals for complete panels (to include a maximum of two papers, one commentator, and a moderator) or roundtables. Individual papers will also be considered. The Program Committee may rearrange panels; submission of a proposal will be taken as agreement with this proviso. No one may appear more than once on the program in any capacity.

Please submit proposals in triplicate, postmarked by February 1, 1995. Each proposal should include: panel title; title and one page abstract of each paper (or roundtable theme); and one-page vita for each participant, including current address, telephone number, and email address (if available). Please include all materials relevant to the panel in a single packet, and enclose a stamped self-addressed postcard for return on receipt of the packet.
