Graduate Student Conference: Gender Across Borders
Location: Rhode Island, USA
Call for Papers Deadline: 2005-01-15

Brown University Graduate Student Conference
May 13-14, 2005

Call for Papers
In May of 2005 the Brown University History Department will hold a
two-day conference for graduate students of history and other
disciplines on issues relating to gender. Titled ¡§Gender Across
Borders,¡¨ the conference will examine how gender functions as a
category of analysis by examining the thematic, methodological, and
theoretical continuities between all scholars of gender and women. To
that end, the conference will stress cross-temporal conversations and
organize panels around thematically similar but temporally or
geographically diverse papers. Panels will feature three papers and
one commentary by an advanced student or professor. The conference
will offer graduate students opportunities for participation usually
reserved for faculty.
Potential panel topics include:
"h Gender and Conflict
"h Gender and the Nation-State
"h Intersections of Gender and Sexuality
"h Gender and Labor
"h Dialogues of Gender across Class and Race
"h Gender and Literature
"h Gender, Human Rights, and Development
"h Influential Scholars of Gender
"h Gender and Place
"h Gender and Media
"h Gender and the Environment

Students are encouraged to submit their own ideas for panels with the
goals of the conference in mind. The list of possible topics above is
by no means intended to be exhaustive.

The Conference Planning Committee and the Brown University History
Department are pleased to welcome Joan Scott as the Marjorie Harris
Weiss keynote speaker for 2005. Joan Scott¡¦s work has challenged the
very foundations of historical analysis through her pathbreaking
examination of gender. Her most recent work focuses on the vexed
relationship of the particularity of gender to the universalizing
force of democratic politics. She is currently the Harold F. Linder
Professor in the School of Social Science at the Institute for
Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.

Submission Guidelines:
All submissions must be received by January 15, 2005. To submit a
paper, please email an attachment in Word format containing an
abstract of no more than 250 words and a one-page curriculum vitae.
To submit a panel, please email only one attachment containing all of
