The Lilith Symposium is a valuable forum for new and established scholars to present research in feminist history and related areas. Following last year's Symposium on Feminist Remembering, we are poised to consider the future of feminist historical writing. This year, the theme is:

Where to Now? The Future of Feminist History

This may include, but is not limited to, questions such as:
How can we write feminist histories in the current political climate?
Is gender as a category of historical analysis an outdated paradigm?
Is psychoanalysis the way forward?
How can (or should) feminist history respond to the rise of fundamentalisms?
How do/will/can queer projects influence feminist historians?
Terrorism: The new patriarchal force?
Can we still write feminist histories at all?

We would welcome proposals, from both new and established scholars, for 20 minute papers relating to the theme in some way. Papers presented at the Symposium may be considered for publication for the 2005 edition of Lilith.

Please send abstracts of 200 words (preferably via email) by Wednesday 12th October 2005, along with your full contact details, to:
