CfPanalists: Women and Religion/Spirituality
I have some research based on ethnographic work with a contemporary American women’s progressive religious reading group focusing on how „heretical“ texts like The Gnostic Gospels and the Da Vinci Code are useful to women navigating patriarchal religious institutions. I would like to organize a panel related to women’s religion/spirituality for the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst on 9-12 June 2011. I am seeking 1-2 other panelists, a chair, and a discussant. Papers can address any historical period or national/geographic tradition.
Themes my work addresses: How reading creates/facilitates the formation of religious community, how lay people appropriate mass media to form religious identities, lived religion, the religious left, the sacred feminine and feminist religious practices
If you might be interested in participating in such a panel, please contact me. If interested, potential panelists should send a one-page cv and 250-word abstract to me as WORD attachments or pasted into the body of an email before March 1. Submission deadline for completed panel proposal is 15 March.

CF Discussant/Chair: Intermarriage in the West
Two colleagues and I are looking for a chairperson/discussant for a panel on Interracial Marriage for the Berkshire Conference in June 2011. One paper will address African American, Indian, and white Intermarriage in Massachusetts between 1800-1820. Another paper will address relationships between Californios and Whites in mid-nineteenth century California. The third paper will address the marriages of Japanese women with white servicemen in the post World War II era United States.
If you are interested in joining this panel as a discussant/chairperson, please email Angela Tudico at atudico@umd.edu.
