>>Urbana-Champaign announces a call for papers. The Symposium, which is 
>>part of activities on campus in recognition of Women's History Month, is 
>>scheduled for March 9-11, 2006. To celebrate and encourage further work 
>>in the field of women's and gender history, we invite submissions from 
>>graduate students from any institution and discipline on topics in 
>>women's and gender history that address the theme of "Mobility." Papers 
>>or panels may address, but should not be limited to the following:
>>
>>
>>
>>·         Performativity and the Body
>>
>>·         Cosmopolitanisms
>>
>>·         Boundaries and Restraints: Material and Imagined
>>
>>·         Intra- and Trans-national flows of goods and ideas
>>

>>
>>·         The Construction and Experience of Public and Private Spaces
>>
>>·         Globalization and Feminist Theory
>>
>>
>>
>>We welcome papers on any historical subject that might grow out of a 
>>variety of disciplines and engage diverse methodologies. We also invite 
>>panel submissions consisting of three papers, although each of the three 
>>papers will be judged on its individual merit. In addition, we encourage 
>>papers and panels analyzing the state of the field in women's and gender 
>>history. Preference will be given to scholars who did not present a paper 
>>at last year's Sixth Annual Graduate Symposium on Women's and Gender History.
