CALL FOR PAPERS, OSLO 2000
The International Federation for Research in Women's History/Federation
Internationale pour le Recherche en Histoire des Femmes invites proposals
for its conference, to be held in Oslo, Norway in late August/early
September 2000 in conjunction with the
International Committee of Historical Sciences. The IFRWH/FIRHF will
hold a one and a half day conference on the following theme:
CONFLICT AND COOPERATION IN SITES OF CULTURAL CO-EXISTENCE:
PERSPECTIVES FROM WOMEN'S HISTORY
We seek papers that focus on gendered histories of conflict and
cooperation in sites where women, and men, of competing cultures share
geographical or geo-political space. The sessions will range widely
across time and place, any may
include analyses of women's responses to and experiences of historical
situations like the following:
i) conflict and/or cooperation between indigenous peoples and
settlers in colonial and post-colonial societies;
ii) conflict and/or cooperation between women of distinct
national, ethnic, or religious traditions in the same or
neighboring countries, including situations which were the outcome
of war or imperial re-structuring and those characterized by large
refugee populations;
iii) conflict and/or cooperation in societies where social and
political relations have been shaped by differences of race, class,
sex, ethnicity, region, or sexual orientation.
Proposals should be sent in triplicate by AUGUST 1, 1998 to Prof. Nancy
A. Hewitt, Dept of History, Box 90719, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708
