Call for Papers: 1998 HWR ConferenceCall for Papers: 1998 HWR Conference
The Conference on the History of Women Religious is sponsoring a conference called "Through Multiple Lenses: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the History of Women Religious" at Loyola University, Chicago, from June 21 to June 24, 1998.
This conference is intended to extend knowledge of the history of Women Religious by drawing on the wisdom and methodology of various disciplines. Interdisciplinary panels may include papers dealing with the same topic from different disciplines or perspectives, or they may be made up of specific papers which incorporate the theories or methods of more than one discipline. For example, artists and historians might collaborate on how the idealized woman reflected in the Renaissance Madonnas and female saints influenced or shaped how women lived religious life. Leadership theories drawn from sociology and psychology might provide new insights into the ministry of women religious in a particular time period. Complete panels are encouraged, but individual papers will also be considered.
Please submit five copies of the proposal by November 15, 1997 to the address below. Include the panel title, title and one-page abstract for each paper, and a one-page vita for each participant, including current address, e-mail and phone number. Enclose a stamped, self-addressed postcard which, will be returned to you on receipt of your packet.
