>>> Update: June 11. Our call for papers is now closed. We are delighted to have filled the programme so quickly and would like to thank everyone who got in touch. We hope you can join us at one of our sessions.
Interested in giving a paper to the WSG? Now’s the time to get in touch!
For the 2015-2016 series, the group will be meeting at the Foundling Museum, 40 Brunswick Square, WC1N 1AZ.
Papers can be any length up to 35 minutes, and can be formal or informal, or even work in progress. The papers are followed by very supportive and informal discussion by members present. Men and women are invited to become members of our group and to give papers.
The topics can be anything related to any aspect of women’s studies: not only women writers, but any activity of a woman or women in the period of our concern, or anything that affects or is affected by women in this time period, such as the law, religion, etc. Male writers writing about women or male historical figures who have a bearing on the condition of women in this period are also a potential topic.
Venue: Foundling Museum, 40 Brunswick Square, WC1N 1AZ
All meetings are on Saturdays: in the 2015-2016 sessions, the dates are as follows:
Saturday 26th September, 2015
Saturday 28th November, 2015
Saturday 30th January, 2016
The room will be booked for 1.00 – 6.00 pm, to give us time to make preparations and clear away afterwards, but we expect sessions to run from 2.00 – 5.00pm. We should like to start each session promptly at 2 p.m., so arrive a little early if you can. Time has been allowed for general discussion at the end.
Please reply to postmaster@womensstudiesgroup.org.uk, with your e-mail marked for the attention of Carolyn D. Williams.
Additional information:
Since it was established in the early 1980s, the Women’s Studies Group 1558-1837 has enabled those interested in women’s and gender studies to keep in touch with each other, to hear about members’ interests and relevant publications, and to organise regular meetings and an annual workshop where members can meet and discuss women’s studies topics. We can also offer advice and opportunities to engage in activities that increase opportunities for publication, or enhance professional profiles in other ways.
WSG membership is open to men and women, graduate students, faculty, and independent scholars: please take a look around our website for more information.
