Congratulations to Berks Trustee Dr. Sonia Gomez, who has been named as a Harvard Radcliffe Fellow for the 2026-2027 Cycle! At Radcliffe, she will complete her second book, “Dear Mollie: Friendship Across Barbed Wire and Racial Lines,” a history of Japanese American incarceration during World War II that focuses on the friendship of an in*******al group of teenage girls from Boyle Heights, Los Angeles.

Happening Tomorrow: Just in time to help you craft the perfect proposal for the Big Berks, our board trustees Yelana Sims and Sonia Gomez will be hosting a virtual workshop for developing strong conference proposals, including how to frame your research for a broad audience, articulate the stakes, write abstracts that stand out to program committees, and organize inclusive, thematic panels.

We're less than two months away from our submission deadline of June 30, 2026!

Join us in Minneapolis (June 10–13, 2027) for “Beyond Boundaries: Gender, History and the Futures We Imagine.”

Our 2027 theme calls us to reaffirm the centrality of feminist, q***r, Black, Brown, and trans histories to our collective understanding of the past—and to the preservation and progress of democratic life. At a moment when histories of women, gender, and sexualities are under attack—in classrooms, archives, museums, parks, and public discourse—the Berks stands in defense of historical truth and the right to teach, research, and tell stories that reflect the complexity of human experience.

We invite submissions from historians, primary and secondary educators, archivists, curators, artists, independent scholars, community activists, and practitioners across disciplines and geographies, representing all career stages from emerging to established professionals.
