Saturday 2nd November - Sunday 3rd November 2002
Confirmed speakers: Gisela Bock,
Mary Eagleton, Judy Giles, Jim McMillan,
Rosemary O'Day, Pat Thane, Deborah Thom, Daniel Walkowitz, Maggie Walsh.
This 2-day conference, to be held at Leeds Metropolitan University, U.K.,
aims to create a
forum for the development of comparative perspectives.
Its main focus will be Europe (including Britain) and North America,
although we would welcome contributions on other geographical locations
that engage with the central themes:
How have women created occupational and professional identities in the
historical past?
How have they negotiated cultural, legal and institutional practices that
are masculine in derivation?
How have women created `feminine' or `feminist' practices and environments?
How has work been integrated with domestic responsibilities and identities?
For which groups of women has the term `career' been meaningful?
How has women's work been constructed and represented within wider cultural
fields?
Proposals (of approximately 300 words) should be submitted by Friday 28th
June 2002 to: Dr Krista Cowman & Dr Louise Jackson, School of Cultural
Studies, Leeds Metropolitan University, Calverley Street, Leeds, LS1 3HE
([log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask]).
