Call for papers!






In order to present the research questions and methodological approaches of the project and to continue discussion and cooperation with the scientific community of medieval and Byzantine studies (and beyond), “Moving Byzantium” will organise a second series of sessions at the International Medieval Congress 2018 at the University of Leeds, the largest scholarly gathering of its kind in Europe (2-5 July 2018, https://www.leeds.ac.uk/ims/imc/imc2018_call.html). The special (but not exclusive) thematic strand for the IMC 2018 is “Memory”.

Scholars at all career stages are invited to submit proposals for twenty-minute papers connected with the main topics of “Moving Byzantium”, with a particular focus on aspects of geographical, social and cultural mobility within and beyond the Byzantine Empire. We are particularly interested in research based on new material, novel interpretations and innovative methods which also locates Byzantium and its neighbours in a wider comparative framework.

Please send paper proposals (300 words max.), in English, accompanied by a short CV including affiliation, career stage and research interests, by 8 September 2017 to Ms. Paraskevi Sykopetritou, Project Coordinator: paraskevi.sykopetritou@univie.ac.at. Papers will be selected by 15 September 2017 and successful candidates must confirm their participation by 22 September 2017
