Western Society for French History
22-25 October 2009
Boulder, Colorado

The Thirty-seventh Annual Conference of the Western Society for French History will be hosted by the University of Colorado.  The Millenium Harvest Hotel is the conference hotel and the location for the sessions.  The hotel is centrally located and offers views of the mountains and easy access to the University of Colorado campus, downtown Boulder, and bicycle and walking paths along the Boulder creek.

The conference’s two guest speakers are both accomplished scholars whose work touches in various ways on one of the themes the conference will explore:  What is the place, significance, and contribution of “national history” after the “transnational turn”?

Bonnie Smith, Board of Governors Professor of History, Rutgers University, is a renowned scholar of women’s history and the history of feminism in France and beyond.  She is the editor most recently of Women's and Gender History in Global Perspective (Illinois, 2003-4); author of Europe in the Twentieth Century World (Bedford, 2004), and editor of a five volume Encyclopedia of Women in World History.

Dominique  Iogna-Prat,  Director of Research at CNRS, is the author of  many books on  religion and monasticism in medieval Europe, including  Order and Exclusion: Cluny and Christendom Face Heresy, Judaism, and Islam, 1000-115 (London and Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 2002).  He is a recent recipient of the CNRS Silver Medal in recognition of national and international scholarly achievement.
