Sixth Triennial Conference on the History of Women Religious entitled, "Crossing Boundaries: Comparative Perspectives on the History of Women Religious" June 27-30, 2004. Hosted by the Benedictine Sisters of Mount St. Scholastica at the Atchison (Kansas) Heritage Conference Center (40 minutes from Kansas City International Airport). We encourage proposals that explore and examine the History of Women Religious from a variety of comparative perspectives: crossing the "boundaries" of race, class, ethnicity, and religous orders, as well as the "boundaries" of geography, time, social context, and academic disciplines.

Proposals for papers in the form of a one-page abstract accompanied by a one-page C.V. are requested (letter, email or fax) by August 1, 2003. Panel proposals are especially encouraged but individual proposals are also welcome.
