The 2025 SAWH Triennial Conference will be held in partnership with the Mary McLeod Bethune Institute for the Study of Women and Girls at Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida. This is an unprecedented opportunity for our organization as 2025 will mark the 150th anniversary of Dr. Bethune’s birth (and 2024 is the 120th anniversary of the university). Crystal A. deGregory, associate professor at Bethune-Cookman and director of the Bethune Institute, is the conference coordinator.

The Program Committee is co-chaired by Françoise Hamlin and Robin Morris and will also include Denise Bates, Beverly Bond, Lorri Glover, Pippa Holloway, and Briana Royster.

Daytona Beach is accessible via airports in Daytona Beach, Orlando and Jacksonville, features the Museum of Arts and Sciences and the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art, and has many diverse dining options.

Please plan to attend and participate in the SAWH’s signature event that takes place every three years and provides several wonderful days of collegiality and scholarly inspiration! The SAWH Triennial also provides a singular opportunity for professional development focused on women’s history and gender history in the south.
