The
Women's Studies Centre at the University of Huelva invites proposals for papers
on the topic of women exiles. This topic may appeal to scholars from any of
the Humanities and Social Sciences. We would like to discuss the ways in which
women have been marginalized throughout history, and how as a result they
have, willingly or otherwise, suffered literal or figurative exiles, as well
as the mechanisms they have used in order to survive and even progress: -exiles
of the mind and/or the body; -exile as marginalization of women in language,
education, the law, the labour market, society, science and philosophy; -famous
women exiles, revolutionaries and pioneers: returns from exile; -exile as
shelter from a patriarchal world: the cloister, hysteria, madness, magic,
prostitution, etc; -economic and political exiles: immigrant women; -forced
exiles: slavery, war, etc; -exile as a journey or flight in search of
identity
Deadline for abstracts (100-200 words in either English or Spanish): 31st
January 1998. Acceptance of papers will be notified around 1 March. Papers
(10 pages, around 2500 words) may be delivered in English or Spanish. However,
those contributors who want to have their papers considered for publication
in the proceedings should (re-)write it or translate it into Spanish. Please

Proposals for Panels are welcome on any historical subject, time period,or
region. While WAWH has often had a special emphasis on women's history, we
suggest that participants may also wish to think in terms of race, ethnicity,
class, religion, age, education, and any other relevant categories, including
gender. Panels or workshops on long-term concerns of women in the historical
profession are also encouraged. Proposals for complete panels, including commentators,
are strongly preferred,
but individual papers will be considered.
Proposals should include THREE copies of each of the following: a cover page
that included the title of the panel, names of the panelists, and the titles
of the individual papers; a one-half to one-page abstract for each paper;
a one-to-two-page curriculum vitae for each panelists; and a list of panelists
that include their current addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses.
Please send TWO copies of your proposals BY DECEMBER 5, 1997 to Dr. Nupur
Chaudhuri, 1737 Vaughn Drive, Manhattan Kansas 66502; nupurc@ksu.edu
and ONE COPY to Dr. Lois L. Huneycutt,, Department of History, 114A Read Hall University of Missouri Columbia MO 65211; histlois@showme.missouri.edu

The conference will promote international discussion of a topic that the burgeoning
research on nationalism has previously neglected: nation and gender. It will
focus on the constitutive phase of Modern nationalism, which is extraordinarily
relevant to the problem but has been given relatively little attention until
now. The aim is not only to produce an assessment of the state of research
in different countries but also to develop questions to guide future research
and orient it more toward international comparison. For scholars from both
Germany and abroad, the conference will offer a forum for concentrated discussion
of ideas and experiences and will promote development of a network for further
intensive debates.
