We are co-organizing a panel for the Western Society for French History on religious women and confinement/claustration. Topics could include the theological/legal rationale for claustration, the application of such regulations to individual communities, the extent to which such regulations impacted women’s lives, etc. We are especially interested in papers that focus on late Medieval or Modern France or French-speaking territories.

If you are interested in participating, please send an abstract and c.v. as e-mail attachments by March 5, 2009.
