The call for proposals is now open for the Big Berks 2027 and closes on June 30, 2026!
Join us in Minneapolis (June 10–13, 2027) for “Beyond Boundaries: Gender, History and the Futures We Imagine.”
Our 2027 theme calls us to reaffirm the centrality of feminist, queer, Black, Brown, and trans histories to our collective understanding of the past—and to the preservation and progress of democratic life. At a moment when histories of women, gender, and sexualities are under attack—in classrooms, archives, museums, parks, and public discourse—the Berks stands in defense of historical truth and the right to teach, research, and tell stories that reflect the complexity of human experience.
We invite submissions from historians, primary and secondary educators, archivists, curators, artists, independent scholars, community activists, and practitioners across disciplines and geographies, representing all career stages from emerging to established professionals.
