Women in the Archives, March 5-7, 2009
Brown University, Providence, RI
Please join us for Women in the Archives, a conference co-sponsored by the Women Writers Project and the Sarah Doyle Women's Center at Brown University, with keynote presentations by Margaret Ezell and Margo Hendricks.
Women in the Archives explores the use of archival materials in the study of women's writing, and the construction of disciplinary practices in archival research and pedagogy. Papers and panels will address the following themes:
- pedagogy and interdisciplinary pedagogies
- the construction of archival spaces
- material modes of textuality across disciplines
- technologies of research and teaching, and the impact of digital media on the archive
- new directions in archival research
- editing archival materials
A conference flyer for circulation is available here.
