WAWH @ The Big Berks 2023
- The 55th Annual Western Association of Women Historians Conference will be held in a concentrated format, embedded in the triennial Berkshire Conference of Women Historians’ meeting in Santa Clara, California.
As approved by our executive board and membership meeting, WAWH will formally gather at a luncheon during the Berkshire Conference in 2023. At this luncheon we will have our annual awards ceremony. Of particular note for this meeting is the invitation for our graduate student members who are presenting at the Berks to submit to the Carol Gold Prize (our conference paper award). In addition, WAWH welcomes digital projects for the Perry award, which will be on display at the luncheon for interaction with their graduate student authors. Watch this site and our fall 2022 issues of The Networker for updates. Thank you!
