About the Maddern Crawford Network (MCN)
Patricia Crawford (1941-2009) and Philippa Maddern (1952-2014) were pioneering scholars in the fields of feminist medieval and early-modern history in Australia, as well as proud mentors to female scholars in the fields of medieval and early-modern studies.
To honour the inestimable contribution of these founding mothers, the Maddern-Crawford Network has been established by ANZAMEMS:
- To promote practices of gender equity within our peak organisation, ANZAMEMS (Australian and New Zealand Association for Medieval and Early Modern Studies), as well as during the biannual conference for this organisation.
- To host networking events for female and female-identified scholars from Australia and New Zealand.
- To enable virtual networking advice, and information sharing, by means of social media interactions.
- To match senior and junior scholars of shared intellectual interests.
- To aggregate data on female participation, at every level, in the field in Australia and New Zealand.
- To offer career support to junior scholars by providing services such as:
- Curriculum Vitae assessment
- Strategic career advice
- Manuscript review where possible.
