Princeton, Oxford, University of Vienna, Mainz, Free University Berlin
2 -3 June 2022, Vienna
In the spirit of fostering closer links between the participating universities, their teaching staff and their students, and building on their research strengths in Late Antique, Byzantine and Early Medieval studies (roughly defined as extending to the year 1000), this conference invites contributions from graduate students (MA and doctoral level) that deal with any aspect of these cultures. A total of 18 students and about 9 teaching staff will participate from across the five universities. Vienna will host the event, including offering lunch and dinner on Friday, 3 June. Vienna will also be able to pay for the accommodation for ca. 20 people for two nights each. Papers are allocated 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of discussion.
Julia Smith and David Addison will lead the Oxford contingent. The Faculty of History has made available funding to cover the travel for 3 students, who will be selected on the basis of this Call for Papers. To be considered for inclusion, please send the following
