Seminar sessions are held on Fridays from 3 – 5 pm at the Newberry, 60 West Walton Street, Chicago, Illinois.
Please see the Call for Papers for information on submitting a proposal for the 2012-13 academic year. Proposals for this seminar are due April 25.
This seminar explores diverse topics and genres—such as race/ethnicity, biography, war, religion, family, and sexuality—through the prisms of women and/or gender. The focus is on the United States and North America across all time periods; however, some papers focus on non-American aspects of the history of women and gender.
The seminar’s co-sponsors are the history departments of DePaul University, Northeastern Illinois University, and the University of Illinois at Chicago, and the Karla Scherer Center for the Study of American Culture at the University of Chicago.
Joan Johnson, Northeastern Illinois University and Francesca Morgan, Northeastern Illinois University are the coordinators for the 2011-12 seminar.
