One-day colloquium, co-sponsored by the Women Writers Project and the Sarah Doyle Women’s Center (Web) at Brown University
Time: April 24, 2010
Venue: Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island
This colloquium is the third in what we hope will be an annual series of „Women in the Archives“ events; for more information about the series and about past WIA events, please visit the main Women in the Archives page.
Women in the Archives explores the use of archival materials in the study of women’s writing, and the construction of disciplinary practices in archival research and pedagogy. This year our theme is „England/New England“, focusing on periodization and regionality in women’s writing during the colonial period. Papers and panels will address the following themes:

• colonial perspectives on English culture and writing (and vice versa)
• digital approaches to the representation of physical and archival space
• gender and the emerging sense of regional or national identity
• the construction and aesthetics of archival spaces

The keynote lecture for this event will be „New England and its Others: Women, Assemblage, and the Archive“, given by Elizabeth Maddock Dillon.
