CFP: GSA Seminar 2019: Interdisciplinary Community in German Women’s History and Gender Studies (Deadline: January 25, 2019)

To what degree has gender analysis become “mainstream” or remained peripheral in German history, literary, and cultural studies? Over the last decade, historians and German Studies scholars have produced exciting and innovative research that suggests that gender is also uniquely positioned, as a methodological approach, to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and research.
