Call for Papers: Reproduction, Sex, and Power Special Issue—This special issue seeks to spotlight the centrality of reproduction, sex, and power to women's history. Histories of nations, empires, foreign policy, law, religion, and popular culture are not free of these seemingly private experiences. The issue will illuminate the points of similarity, divergence, and convergence, the moments when these areas of personal experience become politically powerful and sites of collective action. The range of possible topics is broad: obstetrics and gynecology, midwifery, technologies, practitioners, birth control, adoption, sexual practices, sexual identity and parenting, health and sex education. Research essays from all time periods, geographical regions, and methodological and theoretical stances on the themes of this issue are welcomed. Address submissions to Leslie J. Reagan, Editor, Reproduction, Sex, and Power Special Issue, Journal of Women's History, c/o Dept. of History, University of Illinois, 810 S. Wright St., Urbana, IL 61801.
Deadline: September 1, 2008

Conference Group for Study of Religion in World History—No Deadline Specified. At the annual meeting of the World History Association, a group of participants resolved to form a Conference Group for the Study of Religion in World History. This arose out of a perceived need to integrate the study of religion into the mainstream of world history scholarship, given its obvious importance as a transregional and globalizing force. The purposes of the group are: 1) to establish and maintain a presence at meetings which address world history topics through the organization of panels and contributions of papers to panels on related themes, structured to reach a wide audience; 2) provide a network for the exchange of information and ideas such as research projects and bibliographies. This can lead to a regular newsletter, depending on participant interest. Interested persons should contact David Lindenfeld, Department of History, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70808, e-mail: hylind@lsu.edu for a membership form.
Deadline: December 31, 2008
