Sponsored by Mount Holyoke College, UMass-Amherst and GEMELA, the conference will focus on women’s cultural production in Medieval and Early Modern Spain and Colonial Latin America. Papers or sessions that focus on making connections between geographical spaces, or between disciplines will be highly appreciated. We also welcome suggestions for discussion papers and/or workshops on theory, pedagogy, and other related topics. Papers may be delivered in Spanish or English.

The deadline for sending one-page abstracts is 15 April 2010. Graduate Students should send an abstract along with a full text (7-10 pages max.) Papers by graduate students will automatically be submitted to the Graduate Student Award Competition. Please, see our webpage www.gemela.org for more information.
