Commemoration, Preservation, Celebration

Eleventh Triennial Conference on the History of Women Religious

Saint Mary’s College, Notre Dame, Indiana | June 23–26, 2019

Deadline: 1 June, 2018

The Program Committee invites proposals for papers and panels that address the conference theme, “Commemoration, Preservation, Celebration,” from academics and independent scholars in the fields of history, sociology, literature, anthropology, theology, gender studies, visual and creative arts, material culture, religious studies, and communications.

As the centennials of women’s suffrage in North America, Europe, and beyond generate renewed interest in women’s history, the conference seeks to explore how the history of women religious has been commemorated, preserved, and celebrated. How has that history been told, documented, and remembered? How have religious communities entrusted their history to others? How have anniversaries been moments of significance or transformation? How does the history of women religious intersect with turning points within women’s history more broadly?

The program committee also welcomes proposals for “1,000 Words in a Picture.” These short papers of up to 1,000 words analyze a single image (such as a picture, an artifact, or a document). These papers will be presented in a special plenary session during which each author will present the image in 10 minutes, followed by a five-minute question period.

Proposals for “1,000 Words in a Picture,” individual papers, or multiple-paper panels should include, for each paper, a one-page abstract (title and 250-word description) and a one-page curriculum vitae for each author. Submissions should be made electronically by June 1, 2018, by emailing PDFs of proposals and CVs to cushwa@nd.edu.
