Conferences advertised in chronological order 19-21 January 2012 Women and Gender in Colonial Contexts Universite Paris-1 Pantheon Sorbonne (Cemaf et Centre d'Histoire du XIXe siecle), Ecole Normale Superieure, Lyon (LARHRA), New York University (Paris) For decades, colonizing was perceived and analysed as a masculine undertaking. This is probably why historians of colonisation (and decolonisation)—who themselves were mostly men—paid little attention to the study of women, of gender relations, or of how gender identities and sexualities were constructed in colonial contexts. Women were seen as negligible actors in colonial wars (both during or after the conquest), even though they were important actors within and victims of such conflicts. Moreover, as primary agents of the European "civilising mission", whose alleged principles were to "educate, cure, moralise and convert", women—both colonisers and the colonized—took part in the process of national assertion and of colonial domination. Last but not least, the colonial process created—and was constantly reshaped by—tensions as well as new forms of racial or social hierarchies and gender roles. Thus, the "colonial making of gender" proved to be a powerful vector of social transformation, both in metropoles and in colonies, as recent stimulating historical research has demonstrated. The International conference on "Women and Gender in Colonial Contexts" seeks to assess the current state of historical research on this subject in a longue duree perspective, i.e. from the late 18th-early 19th centuries to the decolonisations of Asia, Africa, and the South Sea Islands (second half of the 20th century). Participants are welcome to present research focusing on specific colonial contexts, both in terms of time and space. At the same time, studies of women's experiences or of gender construction through a comparative perspectivebetween colonies or Empires—is strongly encouraged, as it will allow a better understanding of local versus global situations. The Conference will also offer a significant opportunity to explore new sources, new approaches and new historiographical trends (notably through the combination of various epistemological tendencies such as micro-history, social history, subaltern studies, post-colonial studies or gender studies), in order to show the vitality of this field of research. The organisers encourage scholars to submit papers that investigate, within the framework drawn up by the Conference title, relevant aspects of the following : politics and policies, work, religion, education, health, family, mobilities, sexualities, body/bodies, war, slavery, violence, masculinities. Proposals in French or English (300 words) should be sent by May 31st, 2010, to: christelle.taraud@wanadoo.fr 2011 10–12 February 2011 Romanticism and the Tyrannies of Distance RSAA Conference, Sydney Website 11–13 February 2011.

State Library of Victoria Conference Centre, Melbourne, Victoria CALL FOR PAPERS – Closing Date: 31 October 2010 In recent years memory has been an increasingly significant resource for many different types of communities: for survivors of natural catastrophe and human-made disaster; in country towns dealing with demographic and environmental change; for cities and suburbs in constant transformation; in the preservation of special places or the restitution of human rights; for the 'Forgotten Australians' and 'Stolen Generations'; for migrants and refugees creating new lives; among virtual communities sharing life stories online. Memories are used to foster common identity and purpose, to recover hidden histories and silenced stories, to recall change in the past and advocate change in the present, to challenge stereotypes and speak truth to power. The concept of 'community' can be enlisted for change or conservatism; 'communities of memory' can be inclusive and empowering, or exclusive and silencing. Oral historians, in a variety of guises and combining age-old listening skills with dazzling new technologies, play important roles in this memory work. Our conference welcomes participants who use oral history in their work with and within communities of memory across the many fields and disciplines that contribute to community, public and academic histories. We invite proposals for individual presentations, workshops and thematic panels. The conference will include history walks and tours that introduce participants to Melbourne's rich and diverse communities of memory. Keynote speakers include Stephen High; Nathalie Nguyen & Peter Read. We welcome proposals for presentations in a variety of formats and media, including standard paper presentations (typically 20 minutes); short accounts of work in progress (typically 5 minutes); participatory workshops; and thematic panels comprising several presenters. Presentations should involve oral history. For more information or to submit a proposal, visit the website or email the organizers. 2010 12–14 February, 2010 From Augustine to Anglicanism: Extended Call for Papers St Francis Theological College, Milton, Brisbane.

University of South Australia Bradley Forum, Level 5, Hawke Building, 50 North Terrace, Adelaide A multidisciplinary symposium exploring:
24–26 June 2010 Salmond Room, 2nd Floor, Government Buildings, Victoria University of Wellington Law School 15 Lambton Quay, Wellington Much of New Zealand's legal history remains unknown or under-explored. Court decisions not only tell us about aspects of law in the early period, but can do much to illuminate the development of both the New Zealand legal system and New Zealand society in general. In June, the New Zealand Lost Cases project will host a two day legal history symposium featuring a selection of leading cases from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Speakers from Canada, New Zealand and Australia will present on a variety of early New Zealand Supreme Court cases. Many of these cases are unknown, all represent key moments in the development of New Zealand's legal history and jurisprudence. The conference directly builds on the New Zealand Law Foundation funded project, New Zealand Lost Cases, which is based at Victoria University of Wellington. This project seeks to recover Supreme Court decisions from 1841–1883, as well as to select and publish Native Land Court decisions from the first 20 years of that court. See website For more information on the conference programme contact Shaunnagh Dorsett. For information about registrations email Olivia James or phone 04 463 6327. The conference registration form is attached. 24–26 June 2010 Writing the Empire: Scribblings from Below An international & interdisciplinary conference University of Bristol. Call for papers Over the last few decades, the study of texts has increasingly occupied centre-stage within the study of empires. Scholars from a host of disciplines have explored the representations of peoples and places in travel writing, novels and a wide variety of other textual forms. The written word has thus been acknowledged as a key technology of power. While considerable attention has been paid to the ways in which gender shaped such texts, less attention has been paid to other forms of difference and inequality. This interdisciplinary conference seeks to address this gap by exploring how less powerful and less privileged actors in colonial and post-colonial societies made use of the written word. We also invite papers on their performance, including, in particular, the politics of performance in colonial and metropolitan streetscapes. Possible themes for papers & panels include:
We invite proposals for 20-minute papers on these and related themes. Please send proposals (400 words maximum) to either Kirsty Reid or Fiona Paisley by June 30th 2009. 4–7 July 2010
The conference organizers welcome proposals for individual papers or panels relating to the above theme from any discipline. Relevant disciplines may include:

The symposium is hosted by the Public Memory Research Centre at the University of Southern Queensland. The symposium aims to promote cross-disciplinary debate in order to probe new formulations of migrants' experience of community and individual security. Significantly, the symposium will embed this approach with scholarship regarding transnational identities, the politics of forgiveness and belonging, and the study of social memories. There is growing scholarly interest in migration, social inclusion and new understandings of transnational sentiment. Areas of interest include forms of insecurity preventing migrants from attaining a sense of inclusion, and how local and/or transnational networks can be used to mitigate this. There is significant interest in the dialectic between refugee/migrant and cosmopolitan sentiment, and particularly how this is experienced as a form of security. It is anticipated that the symposium will reveal aspects of the relationship between local/national belonging and transnational identities. Scholars are particularly encouraged to apply from the areas of anthropology, citizenship studies, cultural geography, cultural studies, developmental studies, education, gender studies, history, international relations, philosophy, policy making, political science, religious studies, social/community welfare practice and sociology. The symposium will produce peer-reviewed conference proceedings, and papers will also be considered for publication in an edited collection. The deadline for the call for papers (a title and short abstract) is 1 April 2010. Full details of the symposium may be found at the conference website.

Its theme is "States of Statelessness". Faculty From Harvard, Birkbeck, Paris, Sydney and other Australian universities – see the website for further information. Theme In recent years, historians have begun to reconsider the lenses through which the past may be viewed, and to restore an emphasis on the breadth of human experience beyond national and statist contexts. In particular, they are increasingly engaged in examining the complex transnational nature of economies, cultures, societies and politics. The Postgraduate Intensive 'States of Statelessness' invites graduate students to reflect on ways of seeing beyond the state and beyond the nation. The remit is broad, and we are interested in students working on the history of migration, movement, mobility, and memory, and in fields including, but not limited to: diplomatic history, international history, economic history, environmental history, gender history, black diaspora history, migration history, histories of empire, human rights, legal history, histories of social movements. There is no restriction on the regions or periods covered. However, students should be open to a consideration of the broader historiographical implications of their work, and in some way engage with the literature on transnational and or international historiography. Eligibility Places will be offered to around twenty (20) research students. Applicants can be enrolled either full or part time. Further information For further information, funding and costs, and to obtain an application form, visit the website or email Professor Glenda Sluga. Applications close 31 January 2010. 29 July – 1 August 2010
It is an important time for gifted education and we are requesting relevant organisations to assist us in promoting this conference. As this is the biennial Asia Pacific conference, it will replace the AAEGT National Conference that would normally be held in 2010. The AAEGT is committed to raising the profile of gifted education through the promotion of professional knowledge and skills, policy development and advocacy, research and scholarship, and the dissemination of information. Hosting the Asia Pacific Conference in 2010 is part of that commitment. The Asia Pacific Federation is affiliated with the World Council for Gifted and Talented Children and holds its biennial conference in even years while the World Council holds its biennial conference in odd years. This provides members from the Asia Pacific rim an opportunity every year to gather together, to share ideas, and renew enthusiasm for meeting the needs of gifted children, their families, and their teachers. We have recently announced the call for papers inviting abstracts addressing

Mexico website 22–24 November 2010 War Stories: War Memoirs in History and Literature: Second Call for Papers The University of Newcastle, Australia From the early modern period through to the present day, both combatants and non-combatants who lived through war have written about their experiences in autobiographical works. Sometimes published, but often not, such memoirs entail not only authors recalling their wartime lives but recasting, re-imagining and reprocessing their experiences. The popularity of war memoirs in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries in particular raises questions about why, when and the manner in which conflicts are recalled and remembered, how these texts contribute to or conflict with collective memories, and how they can be read and interpreted by the reading public and scholars alike. The highly specific nature of war memoirs means that comparative work is rare. The aim of this symposium is to compare different aspects and or approaches to war memoirs and, by so doing, lay the foundations for new potential interdisciplinary collaborations. It will also contribute to a broader discussion on the experience of war across cultural boundaries. The Keynote speaker is Jay Winter (Yale University). Other speakers include Leonard Smith (Oberlin College), M. G. Sheftall (Shizuoka University), and Andreas Renner (University of Cologne). Proposals for papers of thirty minutes are invited from scholars from across the disciplines working on any aspect of the war memoir from the early modern period to the present day, from European, Central and South American, African, Middle Eastern, and Asian conflicts. Proposals should be between 300 and 500 words long. Offers of papers (as well a brief C.V.) should be submitted to the conference organizers: The symposium will be limited to no more than twenty participants. The program of the conference will be published in September 2010. Papers will be circulated before the symposium. The conference fee, payable by all speakers and attendees, will be $50 for one day and $150 for three days. The symposium is being held as part of an Australian Research Council research project on Veteran Culture and War Memoirs. The organizers intend on publishing the proceedings.
