15-16th October 2010, UHI Centre for History, University of the Highlands and Islands, Dornoch, Scotland, (Call for papers).
For this annual conference of Women’s History Scotland we will be in the Highlands; hence the focus of this event on women’s relationship with the land and landscape. We welcome proposals for papers (20 minutes) which engage with this theme over historical time and place.
Proposals are not limited to Scottish themes (though papers addressing Highland and Island themes are especially welcome) and we invite comparative and non-Scottish topics. We invite proposals from scholars at all stages of their careers and from independent researchers.
Topics may include (but are not limited to): Women in rural communities; women, gender and urban and rural space; gender relations and land-use; environmental change and its impact on gender relations; representations of women and men in the landscape; gender and landscape design and architecture; demography and the land; land ownership, gender and property; the gendering of work on the land.
Proposals (300 words) for 20 minute papers plus brief biography should be submitted to Karly Kehoe karly.kehoe@thurso.uhi.ac.uk by 1 May 2010.
