The Newberry Library Seminar on Women and Gender 2010-2011
CALL FOR PAPERS
for the 2010-2011 academic year
Deadline for Submission: 25 April 2010
The Newberry Seminar on Women and Gender is intended to bring together scholars
from a variety of historical fields to share their works in progress. The seminar will
explore diverse topics and genres--such as race/ethnicity, biography, war, family,
sexuality, education, feminism, and work, for example--through the prisms of women
and/or gender. Our focus will be on the United States and North America across all time
periods; however, we welcome papers on non-American aspects of the history of women
and gender. Ideally our meetings will stimulate wide-ranging discussions applicable for
use in classrooms and professional forums.
The seminar will be open to graduate students, independent scholars, and faculty. To
maximize time for discussion, papers will be circulated electronically in advance. Priority
will be given to individuals who are at a stage in their research at which they can best
profit from discussion, and to individuals who need a venue to present their work. The
seminar will meet on selected Fridays during the academic year, 3:00-5:00 PM, at the
Newberry Library in Chicago.
To propose a paper, please send a one-page proposal, a statement explaining the
relationship of the paper to your other work, and a brief c.v. to Heather Radke, Program
Assistant, Dr. William M. Scholl Center for American History and Culture, The
Newberry Library, 60 W. Walton Street; Chicago, IL, 60610. Please send all materials
as electronic attachments via email to scholl@newberry.org.
If you are interested in presenting and have questions, please contact one of the seminar
coordinators, Francesca Morgan (Northeastern Illinois University;
f-morgan@neiu.edu; or Joan Marie Johnson (Northeastern Illinois University;
