Dear ARCH-HISTORY I would like to publicise the following conference to your list. With many thanks, Eve. --------------- WOMEN’S HISTORY NETWORK 18TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE: Women, Gender and Political Spaces: Historical Perspectives, St. Hilda’s College, Oxford Date: 11-13 September 2009 Description: Papers are invited for the 18th Annual Conference of the Women’s History Network. Within recent feminist scholarship considerable attention has been paid to the role of gender in constructing social space. This conference seeks to engage with this ‘spatial turn’ by considering the possibilities and constraints upon female agency in a broad range of contexts. Papers are particularly encouraged which focus upon: gender and institutional politics; women’s movements and identity politics; negotiation of power and authority within the family; community and neighbourhood empowerment; politics of the workplace; gender and cultural production.
