Speakers Wanted For 2013/14 Seminar Series – Gender & History in the Americas
‘Gender and History in the Americas’ is a seminar series at the Institute for Historical Research, London. The series began in October 2012 and is held at 17.30 on the first Monday of the month during academic term time. It offers a forum for speakers to present research investigating women’s and gender history from a hemispheric perspective that stretches from Canada to Argentina, Mexico to the Caribbean. The convenors particularly support the presentation of works-in-progress and contributions from postgraduate and early career researchers, reflecting our desire to create a series in which new and cutting-edge ideas can be shared and discussed in an intellectual and supportive environment. We also encourage the use of live-streaming and podcasting in order to make the seminars more widely accessible.
The series convenors are currently looking for speakers to give papers during the 2013/14 academic year. If you would be interested in doing so, or would like more information, please email [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> by 1st May 2013.
