I am posting to solicit panelists for the Berkshire Conference on Women's History in Toronto May 22-25, 2014; proposals are due Jan 15, 2013 and their conference theme is "Histories on the Edge." My interest is in the ways colonized and marginalized actors in settler-colonial contexts engaged habeas corpus petitions to resist their vulnerabilities under other aspects of the law in the nineteenth century. While I am currently focused on the Pacific West of North America, I am especially interested in working with panelists whose analysis of imperial legal regimes includes sites in the global British and American colonial complex. I intend to submit under the conference sub-theme, "Law, Family Entanglements, Courts, Criminality, and Prisons" and invite any interested scholars to help me form a 3-4 person conventional panel or a 4-6 person roundtable on creative uses of the law from those living on the edge of imperial society, so to speak. Those interested should visit the conference website: http://berksconference.org/featured/call-for-papers-histories-on-the-edgehistoires-sur-la-breche/ Please contact me off-list if you'd like to work with me on this exciting project. Thank you, Katrina Jagodinsky Katrina Jagodinsky Assistant Professor of History University of Nebraska-Lincoln 606 Oldfather Hall Lincoln, NE 68588-0327 (402) 472-3242
