Mission Statement
GEMELA strives to unite scholars across traditional disciplinary boundaries through its focus on women's cultural production in medieval and early modern Spain and colonial Latin America through 1800. Our purpose is to distribute information and knowledge about women and their role as cultural producers. Our conferences and publications encourage teaching and research based on all approaches related to our principal field of inquiry.

Acceptance letters for the 2008 conference have been sent.

Lisa Vollendorf and Bonnie Gasior are hosting the conference.
Further information regarding hotel reservations, travel (including airport options), registration, and registration waivers for participants based in other countries will be posted on this website by 1 June 2008. A link to the hotel registration site will be posted as well: our hotel is the Westin in downtown Long Beach. Please reserve your hotel room as soon as possible because we are negotiating a very competitive rate. We might be able to add more rooms, but only if we book early.
