We invite sessions on any dimension of southern women’s and gender history and particularly welcome presentations that explore the conference themes: public history, tourism, memory, historic commemoration, and marketing southern history.

Internships are an opportunity for students to assist in the building of the museum's collections, exhibitions, and programs and to meet professionals in the museum field. Projects vary by department. Most projects provide interns with museum practice and program development experience; some projects are research oriented. Internships are offered based upon the availability of professional staff. This is determined on a case-by-case basis.

What might our discipline gain from decentering the human as theatre’s actor, author, and agent? What else performs? How does placing non-humans center stage expand our historiographic imagination, putting new pressure on familiar methods, and breathing new life into objects/subjects long dismissed as the inert material from which performance, and performance history, is fashioned? What new understandings of performance emerge from this effort? And how might they enrich discourse in other disciplines where "performance” is an oft-cited but little understood concept?

Bmore Historic is a participant-led unconference on public history, historic preservation and cultural heritage organized for professionals, volunteers, students and scholars in the Baltimore region and across the state of Maryland. Take a look at the session proposals from last year or 2011 and you will find ideas for discussions on topics as varied as preservation trades, digital and spatial humanities, and the best approaches to working with volunteers. Unlike a traditional academic or professional conference, an unconference like Bmore Historic is run by participants. We work together set the agenda for what’s discussed, lead the sessions that fill the schedule, and create an environment of innovation and productive discussion.
