[SIGCIS-Members] Looking to join NACBS Panel or Roundtable?

[Marie Hicks]

Hi All,

This is a message for all the British and British Empire historians on
the list. I am considering applying to the 2013 NACBS CFP (due March
1, for conference in Portland, OR on Nov. 8-10, 2013). They are only
accepting full panels of 3 papers, or roundtables of 4 people.

I was wondering if any of you were planning on going and were looking
for a panel (or, barring that, perhaps looking for an extra panelist).
An idea that I have been kicking around is a panel or a roundtable on
the topic of queering the history of technology, using British history
as a space to do this. I think it's an interesting topic because the
history of technology has been viewed through a queer lens in other
disciplines (media studies, women's studies) and it strikes me that
one place where history of technology is being successfully queered in
a historical subdiscipline is in British history. I already have one
person signed on, so we're looking for a 3rd (and possibly a 4th)
presenter.

Let me know if you're interested (or know anyone else who might be).
Deadline is this Friday, so the sooner the better!

Best,

Marie
