Subject: C&C News - Women and the Right - call for Papers & participants

Dear all

I’m delighted to be able to say that the flagship C&C-supported event this year will be a two-day conference on ‘Rethinking right-wing women: Gender, Women and the Conservative Party from the 1880s to the present’. This will be held in Oxford at the Bodleian’s New Weston Library, 29-30 June 2015, and is also being supported by the Conservative Party Archive, the University of Sheffield, and the Maison Française d’Oxford. The conference convenors are Julie Gottlieb (University of Sheffield) and Clarisse Berthezene (Université Paris Diderot). Paper proposals are welcome on any aspect of the relationship between women, gender issues, and the Conservative Party. Please see the attached call for papers for full details. This looks like it should be a fantastic event so please consider getting involved, whether as a paper giver, roundtable participant or delegate. The deadline for paper proposals is 15 April. Please direct these, and any other queries about the event, to Julie and Clarisse.

Also, just a reminder about the upcoming panels at the PSA conference in Sheffield:

1. Re-covering neo-liberalism? From myth to reality? (Monday 30 March, 11.30, Town Hall, Mirror room).

2. The Rhetoric of Republicanism (Mon 30 March, 11.30, City Hall – Memorial Hall)

3. The Conservative Party under Cameron – aspects of modernisation (Tues 31 March, 13.30, City Hall Memorial Hall)

ALSO... the book ‘Conservative Orators from Baldwin to Cameron’, which grew out of a previous C&C conference, will be officially launching on Tuesday 31^st at 9am, in City Hall, North Hall (http://www.psa.ac.uk/conference/2015-conference/roundtable-oratory-and-rhetoric-british-party-politics). Please come along if you can!
