CALL FOR PAPERS 2002 Berkshire Conference on the History of Women Deadline: December 15, 2000 The 12th Berkshire Conference on the History of Women, "Local Knowledge -- Global Knowledge," will be held June 6-9, 2002 at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Connecticut, USA. The Program Committee welcomes proposals that explore the relationship between local knowledge, global knowledge, the history of women, and the emergence of notions of gender across time and culture. How have people reconfigured their ideas and representations to take account of expanding -- or contracting -- worlds, changing economic conditions, and new demands for labor? What are the specific challenges to historians of women posed by indigeneity, nationalism, imperialism and ethnicity? What is the relation between what we can know about women in any local situation and what we can know about women broadly and comparatively? The Committee particularly encourages submissions in earlier periods, those which address sources and methodology, and panels that break down the divide between "the west" (North America and Western Europe) and other regions of the world. Funding for travel costs will be available for some international panelists. We prefer complete panels, normally three papers, a comment and a chair; one person should not assume the task of chair and comment. The Committee also seeks workshops, roundtables, teaching sessions, and presentations that depart from the traditional conference format. Individual papers will also be considered. The Committee may rearrange submissions to shape the program; submission of a proposal will indicate agreement with this proviso. No one may appear on the program more than once in any capacity. Please submit three (3) copies of the full proposal, postmarked by December 15, 2000 to one of the addresses listed below. Each proposal must include a standard cover sheet (which can be printed off from our website), listing panel title or roundtable theme and full contact information (address, phone, fax and e-mail) for panel organizer and all participants. It must also include a title and one-page abstract for each paper or presentation; a one-page curriculum vitae/resume for each participant (including the chair and comment); and a self-addressed, stamped postcard. Mark packet "ATTN: Berkshire Conference" and send it to one of the following: - for European topics to Ruth Mazo Karras, Department of History, University of Minnesota, 614 Social Sciences Building, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA - for Africa, Latin America, Asia, the Pacific, and all comparative topics to Barbara Molony, Department of History, Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, CA 95053, USA - for Canada and the United States to Claire Potter, Center for the Americas, 255 High Street, Wesleyan University, Middletown, CT 06457, USA.
