I think it's <i>vital</i> for medievalists and other pre-modern scholars to be involved in the Berks. How else can we develop any sense of patriarchal equilibrium (as Judith Bennett argues)? I want to emphasize that this Berks, like the 2008 Berks includes language that specifically invites and gives pride of place to scholars pre-1800. From the 2011 CFP: "Preference will be given to discussions of any topic across national boundaries and to work that addresses sexuality, race, and labor in any context, with special consideration for pre-modern (ancient, medieval, early modern) periods.)"<br /><br />Yes, the conference will be more modern than not, and more North American-history focused than not. (This is I think perhaps inevitable, given the fact that it's a U.S.-based Anglophone conference and given the zeal for modern history across the American historical profession these days.) But, it's a great place to meet and connect with other pre-modern women's and gender historians and historians of sexuality. <br /><br />We hope to see you, and more of your colleagues, in Amherst in 2011.<br /><br />Historiann.comHistoriannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10615954696251174822noreply@blogger.com
