Newsletter 34: Fall 2002

Message from the Editor

Tis the season of Calls for Papers!
I would like to call your attention to our call in regard to the Sydney Congress 2005 and Gender History:

The deadline to get proposals is December 13 or asap.
We want to be able to funnel as many sessions to the larger program committee as possible. Soon there will be a call for papers for our own day at the Congress.

Last June many of us met at the Berkshire Conference on Women's History in an unusually cold and wet Storrs, Connecituct. I am happy to announce that Vicki Ruiz, of the University of California, Irvine, will be the next President of the
Berkshire Conference and that the Berks will move West for a historic first in 2005 at Scripps College, the women's school in the Claremont Colleges, in Southern California. I will be one of the co-chairs of the Program Committee and we look forward to receiving many comparative and global panel proposals. Look for the call for papers in a future newsletter.

I would like to thank Alexandra Epstein, a Ph.D. student in History at UCSB, for assisting me in assembling this
Newsletter.

The deadline for the next issue will be April 30, 2003.

Hope to see you in Belfast!

In sisterhood and solidarity,
Eileen Boris
