Call for Proposals-Underground Railroad History Conference

GENDER, CLASS, RACE, AND ETHNICITY IN ABOLITIONISM, ON THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, AND IN THE STRUGGLE SINCE

The Ninth Annual Underground Railroad History Conference Sponsored by Underground Railroad History Project of the Capital Region, Inc.

February 26, 27, 28, 2010 in the New York Capital Region

The forces of gender, class, race, and ethnicity have deeply and complexly conditioned the Underground Railroad and the movements for freedom that have arisen in its wake.

The theme of the 2010 UGR History Conference calls on us as academic scholars, independent researchers, performers, educators, and community members to examine the many ways that these forces interacted to shape the UGR and the struggles that followed it, and to consider how these interactions impact us today.
