In 2017, archaeologist Steph Halmhofer (@bones_canada)* issued a call for submission for the first "Celebration of Women and Non-Binary Archaeologists." The call was a response to the lack of women and non-binary representation in year-end archaeology roundups, as well as problems with representation in the media and public discourse. We have noticed many of the same problems in the field of History.
Inspired by Halmhofer, we invite all women and non-binary folk who consider themselves to be historians to celebrate their personal and professional accomplishments* from 2018. To so do, please fill out the questionnaire below by December 31st. Your accomplishments will be shared on Unwritten Histories in a special blog post in early January. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to get in touch on Twitter at @andreaeidinger or @kristamccracken, or by emailing us at unwrittenhistories [at] gmail [dot] com.
You folks are awesome, and congratulations!
- Andrea Eidinger and Krista McCracken
