Social Science History Association annual conference
Chicago, Nov. 21-24 2013
The SSHA organizes an annual conference in which each of the networks
that make up the SSHA put together a series of conference panels. This very
grassroots system of conference organizing means that scholars put together
complete panels (consisting of 4-5 papers, a discussant, and a chair),
which are then vetted by the network representatives and put on the program
by the program committee. In addition, scholars propose individual papers,
which network representatives turn into panels. The outcome is a terrific,
stimulating conference.
The 2013 conference will be in Chicago on Nov. 21-24 and we hope you will
consider proposing panels that fit under the broad umbrella of our network
women, gender & sexuality. If you like more specific guidance, the general
topic of the conference is “organizing powers” (see http://www.ssha.org/pdfs/SSHA_2013_CFP.pdf).
In addition, topics raised at this year’s network meeting included:
Re-evaluating the sexual revolution from women, gender and sexuality
perspectives; The organizing power of affect; The organizing power of
color; The organizing powers of feminisms; Re-evaluating the socio-cultural
effects of feminisms; Gendering and sexualization as structuring
instruments of power; The relationship between feminism and revolution;
Gender and labor organizing; Women and consumer activism; The Men’s
movement; Re-organizing power relations; Gender organizing prison; LGBT,
marriage: re-organizing power? Gender-segregation as organizing power; The
relationship between household and state.
These are suggestions only — we are happy to consider all themes that fit
within our network.
The deadline for submissions is February 15, 2013! For instructions on how
