GENDERED LANDSCAPES: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY EXPLORATION OF PAST PLACE AND
SPACE
 
MAY 31-JUNE 1, 1999
 
THE NITTANY LION INN
STATE COLLEGE,  PENNSYLVANIA
 
From site is derived insight - its character as diverse as the many ways
of seeing and knowing place. Through investigating past sites and their
connections with gender, we gain insight into the history of places as
well as the powerful cultural forces that gave them form. The essential
character of such investigation is broad, interconnected, and whole.
 
The goals of the conference are to learn, explore, and share particular
perspectives within a multi-disciplinary community and to initiate an
ongoing dialog regarding issues of gender and past construction of
place and space.
 
The conference will bring together scholars from many disciplines that
study, create, and are inspired by issues of gender and landscape
history:  historians, geographers, landscape architects, art
historians, urban historians, sociologists, artists, scholars of
American and women's studies, and others. Anyone whose discipline uses
landscape history or gender to inform or guide his or her efforts
should attend.
 
A call for papers/panels will be mailed in August 1998, and abstracts
will be due December 11, 1998.
