Our 2012 conference will focus on the relationship between women and the state, look at the processes of nation-building and consider the extent to which national identities have been gendered. Papers will consider the role of women and the impact of gender across all time-spans, regions and nations and must have a historical focus. Speakers are invited to present papers relevant to the theme of the conference which should ideally fit into one or more of the following strands.
- Women and patriotism
- Citizenship
- Political activism
- Families and nations
- Divided loyalties: women, religion and the state
- Imagining the nation
- Gender and late nationalisms
- The stateless: refugees and displaced people
- The supranational state
- Globalisation and the end of the nation
