GEMELA (Grupo de Estudios sobre la Mujer en España y Las Americas), 8-10 September 2014

GEMELA invites abstracts for its biennial conference to be hosted by the University of Lisbon, in Lisbon, Portugal, on September 8-10, 2014. The conference will focus on women’s cultural production in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia and Colonial Latin America. Papers or sessions that deal with the conference theme of “Tracing Paths” are highly encouraged. The theme can be understood in a literal sense (paths through geographical space or social spaces) as well as in a metaphorical sense (paths that are spiritual, poetic, didactic, literary, scientific, philosophical, etc.). We welcome suggestions for panels, discussion papers and/or workshops on theory, pedagogy, and other related topics. Papers may be delivered in Spanish, English or Portuguese.

Please send half-page abstracts to:

gemela.lisbon.2014@gmail.com by 1 March 2014. 

Graduate Students should send an abstract along with a full text (7-10 pages max) and an email of support from a faculty advisor. All presenters must pay 2014 membership dues and the conference registration fee. Graduate student papers will automatically be entered into the Graduate Student Award Competition.

This information can be found in the call for papers posters, which you are encouraged to disseminate widely, in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
