Women In/On the Land(scape): Gender, Space and Environment in History
Friday 15 October 2010
The 2010 annual conference of Women's History Scotland will be held at the University of the Highlands and Islands, Dornoch from 15 - 16 October 2010.
For this conference we will be in the Highlands; hence the focus of this event on women’s relationship with the land and landscape. We welcome proposals for papers (20 minutes) which engage with this theme over historical time and place. Proposals are not limited to Scottish themes (though papers addressing Highland and Island themes are especially welcome) and we invite comparative and non-Scottish topics.
We invite proposals from scholars at all stages of their careers and from independent researchers. Topics may include (but are not limited to):
Women in rural communities; women, gender and urban and rural space; gender relations and land-use; environmental change and its impact on gender relations; representations of women and men in the landscape; gender and landscape design and architecture; demography and the land; land ownership, gender and property; the gendering of work on the land.
Proposals (300 words) for 20 minute papers plus brief biography should be submitted to Karly Kehoe karly.kehoe@thurso.uhi.ac.uk by 1 May 2010.
The Sue Innes Memorial Lecture (to be held on the opening night of the conference) will be given by Dr Stana Nenadic. Dr Nenadic will be speaking on 'The Highland Gentlewoman in the Highland Landscape, 1700-1900'.
