Rhymes, Rhythms, and Rituals: Twenty-Five Years of Rural Women’s Studies Revisited

The RWSA is an international association for the advancement and promotion of research on rural women and gender in historical perspective. It welcomes as members and conference participants academic scholars, public historians and archivists, graduate students, and representatives of rural organizations and communities.

The theme of the conference, Rhymes, Rhythms, and Rituals: Twenty-Five Years of Rural Women’s Studies Revisited, reflects the dual focus of the meeting. It will include presentations on current research on rural women and gender as well as presentations that take a retrospective look at the field of rural women’s studies.
