Women and Human Rights, Social Justice, and Citizenship: International Historical Perspectives Melbourne, Australia 30June-2July 1998

The International Federation for Research in Women's History/Federation Internationale pour la Recherche en Histoire des Femmes announces a conference on the theme »Women and Human Rights, Social Justice, and Citizenship: International Historical Perspectives«, to be held in Melbourne, Australia from 30 June to 2 July 1998.

Proposals are invited for presentations on historical understandings, across time and place, of the experiences of women as they relate to issues of human rights, social justice, and citizenship. The programme will include sessions that analyse the origins of these terms and categories, contestations over their meaning and implementation, and their expression in a range of social and cultural contexts.

Participants are urged to organize panels or roundtables around specific themes and to include panelists from a range of regions and/or countries within single sessions. Panels should consist of two or three presenters and a chair/commentator. Roundtables should consist of three to five speakers. Proposals should include the panel title, a list of participants with short vitas for each, titles of individual papers, and a one-paragraph description of the session. Roundtable proposals should include the panel title, a convenor, a list of participants with short vitas, and a one paragraph description of the session. Panel and roundtable proposals can be sent directly to the conference coordinator, Professor Patricia Grimshaw, History Department, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Vic. 3052, Australia.

Where individual scholars find it inappropriate to form a panel, single paper proposals should be sent to the convenors of national committees or members of the IFRWH/FIRHF Board, who will assist in the formation of panels. Single paper proposals should include title of paper, a short vita, and a one-paragraph description of the paper.

The closing date for proposals is 30 June, 1997.
