Cross Currents in Women's & Gender History

Announcing our keynote speaker:  Dr. Pat Cohen, Department of History, University of California, Santa Barbara. Author of The Murder of Helen Jewett: The Life and Death of a Prostitute in Nineteenth-Century New York and co-author of The Flash Press: Sporting Male Weeklies in 1840s New York

The fourth biennial conference of Women and Gender Historians of the Midwest (WGHOM) will be held on June 18 and 19, 2010 at the Town Clock Center for Professional Development of Northeast Iowa Community College in Dubuque, Iowa.  This conference will bring together scholars, educators, students and the public to explore current issues in women's and gender history as we showcase the academic work of Midwestern and other scholars who focus on women or gender.  Honoring our conference location in the historic river community of Dubuque, Iowa, our 2010 theme highlights the convergence of scholarship and contemporary pedagogy in all areas of women's history and related disciplines.  In keeping with this theme we encourage not only the presentation of research by academics, graduate students and undergraduates, but also papers, roundtables and panels  from teaching faculty, librarians, archivists, high school teachers and public historians in all areas of women's history, gender history, and related fields. 

  • The deadline for submission of proposals, consisting of an abstract (500 words or less) and one-page c.v., is January 15, 2010.  Send proposals to the program committee in care of Kristin Anderson-Bricker (kristin.andersonbricker@loras.edu).

  • If you have questions about Dubuque, Iowa, or if you'd like to serve on the local arrangements committee, please contact Carmen Hernandez at hernandezc@portal.nicc.edu.

WGHOM grew out of WHOM.  It is an organization devoted to promoting women's and gender history in the Midwestern United States.

  • Our goals:
    • to provide a platform to showcase academic work in progress by faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates at Midwestern institutions of higher learning
       
    • to sponsor a conference every two years at colleges and universities around the Midwest
       
    • to provide a forum for networking and discussion for those associated with Midwestern institutions
       
    • to provide this website as a tool for linking to archives, listservs, and other sites of interest to women's and gender historians...and if you'd like to send in links or run the website, please email stacy@monm.edu
