Berkshire Conference on Women’s History, Toronto, Canada, May 22-25, 2014, Website
Call for panelists from Kitty Sklar and Tom Dublin: They seek participants in a transnational session at the Berks in Toronto. We seek papers that draw on materials in the online archive and database Women and Social Movement International, 1840-2010 (WASM-I). WASM-I includes 500 proceedings of women’s international conferences and other materials that we hope will foster new research on women’s transnational activism.
Possible topics include:
- Encuentros Feministas conferences in Latin America
- The Inter-American Commission on Women
- Paulina Luisi and international feminism
- Women’s NGOs at the UN Conferences on Women, especially Mexico City in 1975 and Beijing in 1995
- The International Council of Women
WASM-I is a gold mine awaiting historical research. Many other topics could be pursued. Please contact Kitty and Tom off list for more information. We can provide access to WASM-I and look forward to exchanges with possible presenters in the next few weeks.
