World Congress of Historical Sciences Sydney 2005

Women's History Revisited: Historiographical Reflections on Women and Gender in a Global Context.

We wish to thank all the colleagues who sent their proposals to the IFRHW conference 2005. The organisers have included ca 50 presentations in the programme. However, we received more than twice as many proposals. Therefore, we had to reject many excellent proposals.
The conference will take place in conjunction with the World Congress of Historical Sciences in July 2005 (July 3—9); nevertheless, the exact conference dates are yet to be confirmed. We'll tell the dates as soon as possible.
Registration and booking forms will be sent out in September. In the meantime, it might help the planning for the conference to know that the registration fee will be 50 AUD (ca 30 €) for those in full-time employment and 20 AUD (ca 12 €) for registered students and those without full-time positions. All participants of the IFRWH conference need to register for the World Congress. Early registration fee for the World Congress will be 286 AUD + GST and 143 AUD + GST for students. Accommodation costs will range from rooms in the university halls of residence at 45,00 AUD per night (single) to hotel accommodation at ca. 285 AUD (two persons) per night. More information about the World Congress can be found at: http://www.cishsydney2005.org/home.
If you have any queries please let us know and we will do our best to answer them. We would like, where possible, to communicate with conference contributors by email.
