The 2012 Women's History Network conference will take place on 7-9 September 2012 in Cardiff University. It will focus on the relationship between women and the state, look at the processes of nation-building and consider the extent to which national identities have been gendered. Papers will consider the role of women and the impact of gender across all time-spans, regions and nations and must have a historical focus. Speakers are invited to present papers relevant to the theme of the conference which should ideally fit into one or more of the following strands.
• Women and patriotism
• Citizenship
• Families and nations
• Divided loyalties: women, religion and the state
• Imagining the nation
• Gender and late nationalisms
• The stateless: refugees and displaced people
• The supranational state
• Globalisation and the end of the nation
• Political activism
Please send abstracts of 250 words to Fiona Reid freid1@glam.ac.uk and Stephanie Ward WardSJ2@cardiff.ac.uk by Feb 29th 2012.
