📢 Call for Papers – Women’s Education, Careers, and Social Change in the Russian and Ottoman Empires and Beyond, 1860s–1920s
Date: December 3–4, 2026, Yerevan, Armenia
Submission Deadline: August 10, 2026
Concept and Organization: Dr. Arpine Maniero, Research Associate, Collegium Carolinum e.V., Munich
The Max Weber Network Eastern Europe (MWNO) Georgia branch office, in cooperation with the Turpanjian Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) at the American University of Armenia (AUA) is hosting an international conference and calling for papers on Women’s Education, Careers, and Social Change in the Russian and Ottoman Empires and Beyond.
The historiography of women’s education has increasingly approached educational mobility as a socially embedded process shaped by social networks, linguistic and cultural adaptation, admission regulations, and the circulation of ideas, practices, and professional models. Although this field has expanded considerably in recent decades, national and confessional minorities have often been subsumed within broader imperial categories, leaving group-specific patterns of educational mobility, professional opportunities, and participation in public life insufficiently differentiated.
By bringing into dialogue research on women’s education, educational mobility, knowledge transfer, and professional opportunities among national and confessional minorities, the conference aims to contribute to gender history, the history of education, migration studies, intellectual history, and the history of knowledge. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
▪️ Access and Restrictions
▪️ Mobility and Transimperial Networks
▪️ Everyday Experiences Abroad
▪️ Discrimination and Exclusion
▪️ Methodological Approaches
▪️ Knowledge Transfer and Intellectual Exchange
▪️ Professionalization and Careers
▪️ Political and Civic Engagement
▪️ Public Debates
Submission Guidelines:
The conference invites proposals for 20-minute papers, and abstracts should be 250–300 words, and include a short biographical note of no more than 100 words.
Important Dates:
Abstract Submission Deadline: August 10, 2026
