Women’s Studies Group 1558 – 1837 Hybrid Conference

1 July 2025 Università degli Studi di Cagliari

Faculty of Humanities, Via San Giorgio 12, Aula 6 and Aula Magna

The one-day conference, scheduled to take place on July 1, 2025, in Cagliari, under the joint patronage of the local Department of Lettere, Lingue, and Beni Culturali and of the Women’s Studies Group, will explore aspects of collective biographies. This label has been the subject of extensive discussion and a range of definitions among historians, literary critics, and social scientists. The University of Cagliari’s scholars will collaborate with academics and independent historians and linguists from the United Kingdom and the United States of America in an endeavour to expand the corpus and the genres of the collective biographies.

The organiser, Professor Maria Grazia Dongu, is seeking to establish a new research group with a focus on this topic. Should this be of interest, please direct your correspondence to dongu@unica.it
