Conference
Join us in Indianapolis for the sixth Hoosier Women at Work History Conference on Saturday, October 5, 2024. The conference is an energetic day of presentations, networking, and idea exchange. Its welcoming atmosphere makes it an ideal conference for students, emerging scholars, and citizen historians. Academic historians, journalists, librarians, archivists, genealogists, and museum professionals are also encouraged to participate. This year's theme is "Peace and War," but a variety of women’s history scholarship will be examined. We couldn't be more excited to have this dynamic day hosted at the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library. Attendees will listen to speakers, engage in discussion, and have access to this unparalleled museum.

Keynote
After lunch, HWW attendees will walk across the street to the historic Madam Walker Legacy Center for the keynote presentation. The general public is also encouraged to attend the keynote presentation.
HWW is proud to welcome Amisha (Amy) Padnani, an award-winning senior staff editor at The New York Times and creator of the Overlooked project, to the Madam Walker Legacy Center. Overlooked tells the stories of remarkable women and people of color whose deaths were never reported by The New York Times in its 168-year history. After joining The Times's obituaries desk as an editor, Padnani noticed that the section was dominated by white men and sought ways to balance its coverage. Overlooked launched in 2018 with the stories of 15 women, and has since included people of color and subjects from the LGBTQ and disability communities. Padnani's speaking engagements have included TED, Creative Mornings, the National Museum for Women in the Arts, NPR, Democracy Now, CBC, CBS, and the BBC.
The keynote presentation is free to HWW attendees and the public, but you must register.
