Gender History and International Migration History have been in recent years two very active and exciting fields of study. Despite some recent works, they still appear however to produce distinct narratives of History. This conference aims to facilitate cross-fertilisation of gender and migration studies. Gender allows us to take a new look at concepts used by historians of migrations, and to refresh some of their usual themes. The migrant's experience is structured by gender, so are the memories and images of migrants and migrations. Migrations policy and the administration of migrants differ according to gender, so do migrant's political and social activities. In return, migrations affect the ways genders are defined and acted upon, within the host-society as well as in the home place.
We will examine any proposal that adresses these issues. Submissions made by post-graduate and post-doctorate students are specially encouraged, as well as proposals examining them within a well defined and precisely studied context and the ones adressing one of the themes below.
