The 11th Institut des Amériques Conference Call for papers interrogates the
theme of “Women in the Americas.” A generation of scholars in the humanities
and social sciences have paid considerable attention to gender- and
women-related issues. This more comprehensive framework, constructing
North/South and transamericanist paradigms, ambitions to revisit such topics
from interdisciplinary and intercultural perspectives. Beyond traditional
oppositions and stereotypes, we invite contributions which question permanence
and change in the role and status of women in the Americas.
Conference languages are English, French and Spanish.
Deadline extended to April 15, 2013
The proposals should include a one page abstract and one page bio, including institutional affiliation.
