CALL FOR PAPERS
        "Boys and Their Toys? Masculinity, Technology, and Work"

        For a conference on October 3, 1997, Hagley Museum and Library's
Center for the History of Business, Technology, and Society invites
scholars  to submit proposals for
empirical papers that raise broad issues and offer fresh
conceptualizations of the relationship between masculinity, technology,
and work in America since the Civil War. We welcome historical essays as
well as ethnographic studies coming from the fields of sociology,
anthropology, and related social science disciplines. In considering paper
proposals, we will interpret work broadly to include white and blue collar
labor, and entrepreneurship.

        Proposals for individual papers should be no more than 500 words
in length, and accompanied by a c.v. or resume. The deadline for
submissions is April 1, 1997. Send to Dr. Roger Horowitz, Hagley Museum
and Library, P.O. Box 3630, Wilmington DE 19807, or by fax to
302-655-3188. For more information call 302-658-2400 or email [log in to unmask]
Funds to support the travel expenses of paper presenters may be available.
