SHAW 2024 Conference
Rothermere American Institute, The University of Oxford
Friday 5th July 2024
The Society for the History of Women in the Americas (SHAW) welcomes proposals for its annual conference, held at the Rothermere American Institute at the University of Oxford.
This year’s conference will focus on the theme of history from the margins. We encourage proposals for papers, panels or roundtables that engage with the researching, writing, archiving and teaching of untold histories of women and gender non-conforming people in the Americas. We are keen to explore how historians can challenge dominant narratives and periodisation, diversify sources and debates, and profile the voices and experiences of historically marginalised people.
The conference welcomes proposals from academics at any stage of their career, especially graduate students, as well as those active in civil society groups.
We invite 250 word abstracts for papers of 20 minutes length. For full panels and roundtable discussions, please include descriptions of all papers proposed.
Please submit abstracts along with a 100-word biography of each proposed speaker to shawsociety@gmail.com, by Friday 10th May 2024.
Financial assistance for this year’s conference has been provided by the Rothermere American Institute. Limited funds will be available to support PGRs, unwaged presenters or those without access to funds at their home institution.
