This work has been built to a large degree on a careful (re)reading of the medieval sources, and a greater\u2014if still imperfect\u2014use of sources from outside of northwestern Europe. Scholars have drawn on charters and cartularies in order to reevaluate our understanding of women\u2019s power and agency in the Middle Ages. However, such work is inevitably shaped by source survival, by the institutions which preserve those sources, and by the ways in which archival material is categorised, classified, and made available to researchers\u2014or not.<\/p>\n<p>This panel will create a space for historians to reflect on what it means to do women\u2019s history with tools and in spaces that were designed to privilege men and their voices, and to make visible the accreted layers of assumptions surrounding archival materials and the ways medieval women are present within them. We would like to further contribute to the ongoing scholarly conversation about archival theory by considering how the construction and use of archives is a gendered affair, and how that specifically affects the practice of medieval women\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p>Topics of consideration include but are not limited to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How women&#8217;s historians navigate archives<\/li>\n<li>The influence which finding aids and inventories exert on the practice of medieval women&#8217;s histories<\/li>\n<li>Challenges\/opportunities of using such inventories\/archives to do the history of Jewish women, Muslim women, &#8220;lesbian-like&#8221; women and others<\/li>\n<li>Technological innovations and new horizons<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The panel aims to explore how doing the history of medieval women is to a great extent the engagement with the history of the profession as a whole, and to demonstrate that the presence of medieval women in the archives is not a static thing, either in physical reality or in conceptualization.<\/p>\n<p>Please submit abstracts of approximately 300 words by August 31, 2018, to the session organiser, Yvonne Seale (seale@geneseo.edu).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Call for Papers: International Congress on Medieval Studies, Western Michigan University, 2019\u00a0 &#8220;Finding The Women in the Et Cetera: Doing Women&#8217;s History with Medieval Documents &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1930,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1929","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-conferences-lectures"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2249,"url":"https:\/\/yvonneseale.org\/blog\/2019\/10\/01\/public-talk-the-lost-women-of-premontre-finding-and-following-the-footsteps-of-medieval-women\/","url_meta":{"origin":1929,"position":0},"title":"Public Talk: The Lost Women of Pr\u00e9montr\u00e9: Finding and Following the Footsteps of Medieval Women","author":"admin","date":"October 1, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"On Tuesday, October 3, at 6:3 0p.m. I will be giving a talk at St. Norbert College, WI, entitled \u201cThe Lost Women of Pr\u00e9montr\u00e9: Finding and Following the Footsteps of Medieval Women.\u201d Come along to learn what the traditional story told about the Premonstratensian sisters of medieval France gets wrong,\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Conferences &amp; Lectures&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Conferences &amp; Lectures","link":"https:\/\/yvonneseale.org\/blog\/category\/conferences-lectures\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/yvonneseale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/gettyimages-152232575-1024x1024-e1569939676624.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/yvonneseale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/gettyimages-152232575-1024x1024-e1569939676624.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/yvonneseale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/gettyimages-152232575-1024x1024-e1569939676624.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/yvonneseale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/gettyimages-152232575-1024x1024-e1569939676624.jpg?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x"},"classes":[]},{"id":472,"url":"https:\/\/yvonneseale.org\/blog\/2015\/11\/03\/berman-symposium\/","url_meta":{"origin":1929,"position":1},"title":"CfP: Cistercians, Chronologies, and Communities Symposium","author":"admin","date":"November 3, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"Cistercians, Chronologies, and Communities: The Legacies of Constance Hoffman Berman May 20-21, 2016 Students, friends and colleagues of Professor Constance H.
