ROUNDTABLE
The Coalition for Western Women’s History organizes a “Roundtable” to appear annually on the Western History Association conference program. Held on the first day of the conference, this is more commonly referred to as the “Wednesday/Thursday Roundtable” and aims to highlight emerging scholarship and celebrate the legacy that the Coalition and its founders has made in the field of women, gender, and sexuality in the history of the North American West.
