Prof. Meade to Co-Chair Berkshire Conference on History of Women

Teresa Meade, associate professor of history, has been appointed co-chair of the Program Committee of the 1999 Berkshire Conference on the History of Women to be held at the University of Rochester.

Regarded as the most important women's history conference in the country, and probably the world, the Berkshire Conference draws several thousand participants.

Professor Meade, whose specialty is Latin American history, will share the chairperson responsibilities with Nell Painter, professor of U.S. history at Princeton University, and Sharon Strocchia, professor of European history at Emory University.

Two history majors, Larry Gutman and Phoebe Burr, have signed on as members of the "Berks" team to work with Professor Meade as student assistants.

Preparations for the conference will begin in September.
