📢 Reminder: last week to register for the workshop ‘Conservative Women: Politics and Gender from 19th century – 21th century’
On Thursday 2 and Friday 3 July 2026, PoHis will host the international workshop ‘Conservative Women: Politics and Gender from 19th century – 21th century’.
In this workshop, we will explore the role of women in conservative political movements since the nineteenth century. To what extent is female involvement in right wing, nationalist and conservative movements a new phenomenon or can longer patterns and lineages be discerned? What were and are the motivations of women to take part in these movements and what are their strategies? Do they participate despite or because of the often explicitly patriarchal and masculinist rhetoric of these movements? How should we evaluate the impact female involvement has on right wing political movements? We aim to bring together approaches from the study of conservatism and the (radical) right with insights from gender and women’s history and politics.
