19th Annual Conference of the Women's History Network
Performing the Self: Women's Lives in Historical Perspective
10-12 September 2010, University of Warwick
Papers are invited for the 19th Annual Conference of the Women's History Network. The idea that selfhood is performed has a very long tradition. This interdisciplinary conference will explore the diverse representations of women's identities in the past and consider how these were articulated. Papers are particularly encouraged which focus upon the following:
- Writing women's histories
- Gender and the politics of identity
- Ritual and performance
- The economics of selfhood: work and identity
- Feminism and auto/biography
- Performing arts
- Teaching women's history
