    *   sharing strategies for preserving and protecting historic
        resources

We are particularly interested in proposals that address the
intersections of gender, race, class, ethnicity, and sexuality in
the context of historic preservation or which provide an
international basis for comparison. Please submit proposals for
papers, panels, workshops, or other types of presentations in
writing to:
