The Workshop on Late Antiquity and Byzantium extends a
call for papers and/or recommended speakers for the 2012-2013 academic
year. University of Chicago faculty,
post-docs, and graduate students are all encouraged to participate!
Our workshop focuses on the Mediterranean World from
330 – 1453 CE broadly understood, including Late Antiquity, Byzantium, Early
Islam, the Early West, Slavic Studies, Crusader Periods, and Eastern Church
Studies. Our meetings often feature
topics in history, art history, archaeology, and textual culture; papers and
speakers in these and related areas, or with related methodological interests
are very welcome.
Sessions typically run for 90 minutes (including
presentation of the paper with time for questions afterward), followed by more
informal conversation.
The schedule of papers from this past year is
available on our website for consultation
(http://cas.uchicago.edu/workshops/lantbyz/workshop-schedule-for-2011-2012/).
Because we are putting together an application for
renewal that is due at the end of the month, please respond with topics and
suggestions by next Tuesday, April 24th, so that we can highlight these
interests, persons, and topics in our funding application.
Thanks for your interest & support!
Sincerely yours,
