[Commlist] Call for Manuscripts (Peter Lang book series): Gender and the History of Institutions

Call for Manuscripts (book series)
Gender and the History of Institutions, www.peterlang.com/series/ghi

Series Editors: Dr Maria Isabel Romero Ruiz, University of Málaga 
(Spain) and Dr Sarah-Anne Buckley, University of
Galway (Ireland)

The aim of this book series is to examine the history of institutions 
around the world through the lens of gender. Of interest are 
institutions established with the specific purpose of regulating gender 
and sexuality (e.g. the Magdalen
asylums, Magdalen hospitals, penitentiaries, refuges, mother and baby 
institutions) as well as those with more general
purposes where gender has had an important role in their operation and 
function (e.g. prisons, workhouses, lunatic
asylums), including both religious and private organisations. The series 
supports the increasing interest in these
institutions internationally, both in academia and in the treatment of 
‘historical’ abuse.
The series highlights the range of archives that can be considered in 
examining this history, not only in English-speaking
countries but also in countries where the institutions described above 
have existed and determined the lives of
many people. It will also broaden the conversation by widening the scope 
of institutions being considered. The series
has as its main objective expanding the discussion of gender in 
reference to these lesser known institutions. At the
same time, its purpose is to provide academia with a forum for 
discussion and a critical approach to the concepts of
gender and institutions that attract both researchers and the general 
public.

Proposals for monographs and edited collections can be sent to the two 
series editors:
Dr Maria Isabel Romero Ruiz ((mirr /at/ uma.es)) and Dr Sarah-Anne Buckley 
((sarah-anne.buckley /at/ universityofgalway.ie)).
