- Call for Papers
March 2, 2012: Call for Papers/Presentations for the 28th Annual All-University Conference on The Advancement of Women in Higher Education, which will take place on the campus of Texas Tech University, Friday, April 13, 2011. Registration information will soon be available online. We invite papers and panel proposals that explore the manifold meanings of movement and change as connected to, created by, and/or caught up in the presence of women's, gender, and identity issues, in both contemporary and historical frameworks. Interdisciplinary proposals, as well as those from the disciplines and specialty subject areas across the Texas Tech University campus, are welcome. We will be happy to consider proposals from the professional schools and the administrative offices, as well as those from scholarly areas where women have been historically under-represented, including mathematics, the agricultural and natural sciences, and technology and applied sciences. We also invite students, staff and faculty members in the social and behavioral sciences, the visual and performing arts, the communications fields, and the humanities to present their research. The Program Committee also issues a special invitation to interested parties from other colleges and universities, including Lubbock-area institutions, Angelo State University, and other institutions in the Southwest to present, to participate, and/or to attend this conference. Faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate students are all invited to share their work, in the form of research findings, group or single-author projects, and works-in-progress in multiple media in paper, poster or exhibit sessions.

Call for Submissions: Women During the English Reformations
Reforming Inspirations: Women during the English Reformations Eds. Julie A. Chappell, Kamille Stone Stanton, and Kaley A. Kramer Deadline: 1 May 2012 Accepting Christopher Haigh’s concept of English reformations, this collection of essays will offer scholarship focused on women’s creative undoings and reimaginings during the period of religious reformations in England between 1534 and 1829. The collection will explore the inspiration for women’s actions during this period of reformations whether those actions were for the conservative or evangelical cause. The aim of this collection is to expose the consequences and the contradictions inherent in reimagining religious boundaries which cannot but manifest internally in the individual while simultaneously doing so externally in a society’s political and social structures. Although much groundbreaking scholarly work by such notable scholars as A.G. Dickens, Christopher Haigh, Eamon Duffy, and Diarmaid MacCulloch has debated the extent of the conservative resistance and/or evangelical progress during the period, it has largely grounded its arguments in the writings of early modern men of varying cultural significance. More recent work has begun to explore the critical roles that women played in the centuries of reform in England. Because of the availability of documentary and other material evidence on women of rank, such as Anne Boleyn, Catherine of Aragon, Katherine Willoughby, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, these have been the focus of most contemporary scholarship. The lack of availability of material evidence for women of less exalted status has, naturally enough, produced fewer studies of such women though we know of some of the more notorious ones - Elizabeth Barton, the Holy Maid of Kent, and Margaret Clitheroe, the butcher’s wife. Reforming Inspirations: Women during the English Reformations will offer essays exploring the ways in which English women of various backgrounds, openly or covertly, engaged the struggle to “erase, undo, remake, or re-imagine” a particular English religious identity. The deadline for completed articles of approximately 5000 words in Chicago style with endnotes is 1 May 2012. NB Please send submissions and queries to chappell@tarleton.edu NB Please do not embed Notes in your essay’s .docx file. Instead, submit two separate files connected by name, i.e. 1) the Article text file, e.g. chappell.reform.docx and 2) the Notes file, e.g. chappell.reform.notes.docx
