Hello,
We are assembling a roundtable proposal for the Berks (Minneapolis, June 12-15, 2008), and invite proposals for papers that deal with methodological issues related to the use of visual culture in the study of histories of gender and sexuality. We invite proposals that deal with the period from roughly 1800 through 1950, and are particularly keen to hear from people who work on geographic locations other than the U.S. Some of our motivating questions are: How can the study of visual culture revitalize the history of women and gender? What are the limitations of such an approach? Given that public history invariably involves some visual culture component, are there insights that public history can offer traditional scholarship of the histories off women, gender, and/or sexuality? Proposals should consider the relationship between visual culture and larger contexts of social, political, economic, and/or legal history. Because we are primarily interested in big-picture questions of methodology, we are also open to hearing from scholars whose work is more generally founded in interdisciplinary approaches and the innovative use of sources. Please send a short abstract and brief bio by Dec 15 to both:
