Networks
and Neighbours: IMC 2015
Call for Panels at the 2015 International Medieval
Congress at Leeds
Dear friends and colleagues,
Networks and Neighbours is pleased to
announce that we will be sponsoring and organizing several panels at the Leeds
2015 International Medieval
Congress.
There is no particular
sub-theme for the papers or panels except that they should consider the general
aims of Networks and Neighbours. Panels
and papers focusing on the theme of the 2015 IMC, Reform and Renewal, will be
particularly welcome.
For those of you that do not
know us, we are an international and cross-disciplinary project dedicated to
broadly innovative research in Early Medieval History. We are constituted by an exceptional
collection of junior and senior scholars from a wide array of academic,
intellectual, cultural and linguistic backgrounds from around the globe and
across fields of enquiry. We hope by
this method to be able to eliminate, or at least minimize, the barriers that
prevent co-operation and in so doing develop a worldwide community of scholars
readily familiar and in dialogue with current research and scholars in Early
Medieval History.
Whether you are submitting a
single paper or assembled panel, all proposals must be accompanied by 250-500-word
abstracts of all works involved. Panel
submissions should additionally include a 500-word explanation about the panel
and how the papers complement one another and, if appropriate, the research of
the moderator.
All proposals should be
submitted to us at networksandneighbours@gmail.com by the 27th of August 2014. We will make our decisions closely after the
deadline in consideration of the IMC’s internal deadlines. If your paper and/or panel are selected please
keep in mind that some moderators may want your full papers submitted to them
in advance of the IMC.
Finally, it should be noted
that it is our intention to publish an edited volume based on the papers and
other work developed in our IMC panels, as well as our annual Symposia and
other significant events run and sponsored by Networks and Neighbours recent years. Furthermore, we welcome extended panel papers
as peer-reviewed submissions to our no-fees open-access and print journal at www.networksandneighbours.org.
Please circulate the pdf below to anyone who may be interested.
