Welcome to the homepage of our conference, "Court House, State House, Her House: Southern Women and Politics."
The University of Southern Mississippi sponsors this conference, to convene Thursday - Saturday, March 31 -April 2, 2011. Over 35 presenters from universities around the region and the nation will present the best of current scholarship on southern women and politics. With an appropriately broad definition of "politics," drawn to encompass women's efforts to affect public policy via "woman's influence" as well as women's experiences seeking and holding elective office, the conference will highlight aspects of women's experience both before and after the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment.
All presentations are open to the general public; lunches and receptions by paid registration only.
Plan to join us in Gulfport for "Court House, State House, Her House."
