Commemorating Frances Perkins: Legacies of the New Deal in Maine and the Nation

 

The main goal of the Conference is to provide an opportunity for academicians and professionals from various disciplines and related fields from all over the country to come together and learn from each other. An additional goal of the conference is to provide a place for academic and scholars with curriculum interests related to history, economics, and women's studies   to meet and interact with participants inside and outside their own particular disciplines.  We have a number of outside events during the conference that will be available.
