The remainder of the conference will be organised by the History of Women Religious of Britain and Ireland (H-WRBI) who invite both individual and panel proposals on the themes of identities, organisations and exile. Proposals from postgraduate students are particularly welcomed. H-WRBI encourages papers on consecrated women from all historical periods and from different religious traditions.

Delegates are invited to sign up for all or part of the conference.
