Berkshire Conference on Women’s History, Toronto, Canada, May 22-25, 2014, Website

Call for panelists from Ilyana Karthas: I am seeking a third panelist (preferably an historian) to join a panel for the 2014 Berkshire Conference on the topic of dance, modernity, and gender (or, more even generally, the politics of the performing body). Our panel seeks to demonstrate the richness of dance as a historical subject of analysis and exemplifies “histories on the edge” as our work bridges the gap between dance studies and historical research. So far, we have a panelist who works on the revival of professionalism in ballet and the another panelist who works on Nureyev and how he helped to alter ideologies of masculinity in the 1960s. If you are interested in joining us, please contact me at karthasi@missouri.edu
