Western

> 2013).  This panel will include two papers that use monumental statues as
a
> starting point for examining issues of gender, race, and regional identity
> in the early 20th century.  One paper examines suffragists' dedication of
a
> statue to Sacagawea in Portland, Oregon, in 1905, and explores the ways in
> which that statue and a novel by Eva Emery Dye became templates for later
> representations of Sacagawea's story.  The other paper examines the
> erection of pioneer statues in the early 20th century and the creation of
a
> remarkably uniform depiction of frontier women as a singular "Pioneer
> Mother" in monumental art by the late 1920s in response to fears about the
> closing of the frontier, urbanization, immigration, and changing gender
> norms.  I'm hoping to find a third paper that also addresses issues of
> gender, race, regional identity, nationalism and/or historical memory.  If
> you would be interested in joining this panel, please send a brief
> description of your proposed paper and a brief CV to me (off-list) at
