WGFH - Disciplinary Dialogue: A Panel Discussion on the Shifting Borders of Women's and Gender History

The scholars on this panel, including both those who do and those who do not explicitly identify as historians of women and gender, will explore questions regarding the shifting borders of gender as a disciplinary field, within their research and their academic careers. Some of the questions to be discussed include: What role does gender analysis or women¿s history play in your research, and how do you articulate this in your published work? Has your relationship to gender as a category of analysis changed through your career? How do you (or don't you) frame yourself as a historian of women and gender, among your colleagues, with your students, and within the wider profession? Do the concerns of publishers and their marketing of women¿s and gender history affect how you present your work? As historians from a range of fields incorporate women's and gender history into a broader range of scholarship, to what extent does this help or harm women's and gender history as subdisciplinary historical fields? Please join us for what promises to be a provocative discussion.
