The aims of the workshop series are to promote gender history in studies of Eastern and Western Europe, to foster a European history reflecting the borders of the new Europe and to think beyond them, and to intensify comparative and transnational research that systematically includes the gender dimension. The series seeks to provide interested scholars and students both from the North Carolina Research Triangle region and beyond with an exciting opportunity to present and discuss the findings of recent research.
One workshop is planned for each semester. Future topics will include:
Gender, War, and Nation in Twentieth-Century Europe (Feb. 2-3, 2006)
Gender, Race, and Ethnicity in Twentieth-Century Europe (Fall 2006)
Gendering War Memories - Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Europe in Comparison (Spring 2007)
Gender and Welfare States in Transition - Eastern and Western European Comparisons (Fall 2007)
