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 ______________________ Marie Hicks, Ph.D. Asst.
