Symposium Sharing: Upcoming Event

[Symposium Sharing: Upcoming Event]
The 22nd International Symposium on Medieval and Early Modern Studies will be held at the University of Arizona in Tucson on May 2-3, 2025, with a social gathering on May 1. This year’s theme is “Peace, Community, and Happiness in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Age.”

About the Symposium:
Our world faces increasing violence, hatred, disagreements, and wars. It would be inaccurate to project the pre-modern world as peaceful, on the contrary. But the issues of peace, community, and happiness were already deeply on the mind of medieval and early modern thinkers, poets, artists, and theologians. Let us explore this large topic to demonstrate that our field is vibrant, relevant, and meaningful for the post-modern world. We work now very much with interdisciplinarity.

Call for Papers: Abstracts in English are due by January 31, 2025 (late submissions may be considered, ca. 8 slots still available)
Registration Fee: $120 (includes meals, refreshments, social events, and conference materials).
Contact: Prof. Albrecht Classen, aclassen@email.arizona.edu

This Symposium is organized by Professor Albrecht Classen at the University of Arizona, with support from the Depts. of German Studies, Africana Studies, French and Italian, Russian and Slavic, East Asian Studies, Spanish and Portuguese, the Roshan Graduate Interdisciplinary Program in Persian & Iranian Studies, Judaic Studies, and by the Dean’s Office of the College of Humanities.
