Women, Diplomacy and International Politics since 1500
Co-organised Glenda Sluga (Sydney), Giulia Calvi (EUI), Barbara Caine(Sydney/Monash),
Carolyn James, (Monash).
The new international history has provided a framework for critiquing
the narrow assumptions of existing historiographies of international
politics and exploring a range of new themes in respect of agency,
chronology, and gender. This two-day workshop will highlight the role of women as participants and agents in international political life since the early modern age. Its aim is to explore the many ways in which women have been involved in diplomacy and in international politics, highlighting the diversity of their activities and the significance of their contributions. In
focussing on women, we hope to bring to the fore new themes and to make
new suggestions relevant to the characterisation of developments in international history. We are interested in papers that look
at the participation of women in particular national and local contexts,
including particular European courts; at their involvement in major
international diplomatic conferences and congresses and at their role in
international political organizations. Some of the themes include:
Women, marriage and diplomacy
The political significance of private friendships
The woman diplomat
Women writing about international politics.
The conference will take place in December 2011 at the EUI in
Florence.If you are interested in participating in this workshop,
please send your cv
and a short abstract by October 30, 2010, to :..Glenda Sluga@sydney.edu.au.
