CFP Society for the History of Women in the Americas Annual Conference

Annual Conference
Friday 1st July 2022
British Library, London

The Society for the History of Women in the Americas (SHAW) welcomes
proposals for its annual conference, co-organised with the Eccles Centre for
American Studies at the British Library, London (UK).


This year’s seminar series sponsored by the Institute of Historical Research has
focused on the theme of Black Women of the political, financial, social, and
intellectual elite. The annual conference will further expand on this theme to
include Black Women’s activism at every level, from the grassroots to the elite
circles, at any point in the history of the Americas.


We encourage proposals for papers, panels or roundtables that engage with the
activism, cultural outputs, social and intellectual networks, and life experiences of Black Women activists. We are keen to engage with the British Library’s exhibition on Breaking the News and we would particularly encourage papers focused on Black women journalists. The day will include a private Show and Tell session of British Library collection items related to the themes for conference delegates.
The conference welcomes proposals from academics at any stage of their career, especially graduate students, as well as those active in civil society groups.


We invite 250 word abstracts for papers of 20 minutes length.

For full panels and roundtable discussions, please include descriptions of all papers proposed.

Please submit abstracts along with a 100-word biography of each proposed
speaker to shawsociety@gmail.com, by 28 March 2022.

Financial assistance for this year’s conference has been provided by the Eccles
Centre for American Studies at the British Library and Manchester Metropolitan
University.
