We welcome papers on the role and place of girls and women both during the war and also in the years leading up to the outbreak of hostilities and in the decade after. For example, how did literature for girls before the war prepare children for war? How were women involved in pacifist groups? What kinds of work did women do during the war? How were women and girls involved in memorialisation activities? What is the relationship between spiritualism, war and gender politics? Do new transnational paradigms complicate our understanding of women and war? What role did women play in journalism during the war? These are indicative questions only \u2013 the symposium is intended to share and develop research on women and the First World War. Papers from a range of fields \u2013 including Literature, History, Archaeology, Geography, Politics, Film and Media, Modern Languages, History of Medicine, and Law \u2013 are encouraged.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Please send abstracts of 150 words for\u00a020-minute papers to <a href=\"mailto:fww@ncl.ac.uk\" target=\"_blank\">fww@ncl.ac.uk<\/a> by <strong>15 July 2015<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This event is supported by the North East Research Forum for First World War Studies, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livinglegacies1914-18.ac.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Living Legacies 1914-18 Engagement Centre<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/genderresearchgroup.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Gender Research Group (Newcastle) <\/a>and the <a href=\"http:\/\/research.ncl.ac.uk\/military-research\/\" target=\"_blank\">Military, War &amp; Security Research Group (Newcastle)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Conference Organisers: Stacy Gillis &amp; Emma Short<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Download a PDF version of the Call for Papers <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/fww\/files\/2015\/06\/Women-and-FWW-CFP.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>17 September 2015 @ Newcastle University Keynote Address:\u00a0Professor Alison Fell (Leeds),\u00a0\u2018Back to the Front: French and British Female Veteran Groups in the 1920s\u2019 This interdisciplinary symposium will showcase research on any aspect of women\u2019s history in relation to the First World War.
