CFP: 5th Annual Meeting of Atlantic Medieval and Early Modern Group (AMEMG)

Posted on by

13-14 October 2017

University of New Brunswick

Fredericton, NB

If you are interested in presenting a paper (15-20 minutes in length, depending on number of submissions) or in organizing a paper or roundtable session, please submit a brief abstract or description of roughly 250 words to Gary Waite, copied to Edith Snook, by Friday June 16, 2017; if you require more time to prepare an abstract, simply let us know. We welcome papers from graduate and honours students, as well as from regular members of AMEMG.

We have set this deadline to allow out of town participants to make arrangements for accommodations. Papers can be on any subject relating to the pre-modern era, in any discipline, and can be presented in either English or French. Participants will be notified as soon as possible after submission, and a preliminary program will be disseminated by early July.

Our keynote presenter this year will be none other than Randall Martin, Department of English, UNB, who on the Friday evening will deliver the (public) keynote address: Early English Environmental History / Shakespeare / Ecological Modernity.

There will be registration and a welcoming reception (wine and cheese, etc) on the Friday late afternoon/evening. If we receive more submissions than can be covered for a Saturday, we may extend into Sunday morning or consider concurrent sessions.

Formal confirmation of attendance will be required by the end of August so that we can have a firm fix on numbers. More information on accommodations is available here.

For further information contact Gary Waite.

CFP: 2nd Annual Conference of the Atlantic Medieval and Early Modern Group, Halifax, August 25-26, 2014

Posted on by

We are pleased to announce the second annual conference of the Atlantic Medieval and Early Modern Group (AMEMG) hosted by the University of King’s College, Halifax, August 25 and 26 (Monday and Tuesday), 2014.

We are requesting submissions of abstracts for two types of sessions: 1) Proposals for the presentation of scholarly papers on any subject relating to the pre-modern world (i.e., before 1800). These we request will be kept on the short side, i.e., about 15 minutes 2) Proposals to participate in a roundtable. The latter can include discussions of: a. work in progress or new approaches to research in the field, or b. teaching or pedagogy in the field. The goal here will be to stimulate comparisons and new approaches among the panelists and audience. These would begin with about 5-10 minute presentations by each panelist, followed by extended discussion.

In order to submit proposals to the Program Committee, please send a brief (100-200 word) abstract to Edith Snook, at esnook@unb.ca. The deadline for submission for either type of session will be July 15, 2014.

Details about the conference, accommodations, reception and registration will be made available shortly.

If you are not a member of AMEMG, but wish to join, please contact the President, Gary Waite, at waite@unb.ca.

CFP: Digitizing the Medieval Archive 2014, April 25-26, Toronto, ON

Posted on by

Keynote Speakers:

David Greetham (The Graduate Center, CUNY)

Stephen G. Nichols (Johns Hopkins University)

Caroline Macé (KU Leuven)

Consuelo Dutschke (Columbia University Library)

The discussion about the digitization of the Middle Ages, by its very nature, tends to be one that takes place in an online setting. As the question of how medievalists may work within this digital environment becomes an increasingly popular topic of Internet conversation, we invite scholars in the Humanities and Social Sciences to come together in real time to consider and discuss the possibilities of a digitized medieval archive.

Click here for the full call for papers and check the conference website for more information. Please submit a short C.V. and abstracts of 250 words by October 1, 2013 for consideration. To contact the conference organizers write to digitizingmedievalarchive@gmail.com.

Call for Presenters for the 2013 Atlantic Medieval and Early Modern Group, UPEI, 4-5 October 2013

Posted on by

Please submit your intention to participate by sending, by 15 August 2013, a brief, 100-200 word description of your 10 minute presentation on current / proposed research to:

Edith Snook, AMEMG Secretary, and copied to AMEMG Chair, Gary Waite (see “Contact” page of the website for details).

Started two years ago, AMEMG now has 45 members from across the Atlantic Canada region and is still growing. Its mission as stated in its Constitution of 2011, is: “the promotion and development of Medieval and Early Modern studies in the Atlantic Region on a multi-disciplinary basis; and that of promoting the scholarly activities of its members and their students. It also seeks to support and collaborate with other relevant scholarly organizations that benefit the research of the AMEMG membership.”

We have had a number of meetings combining face to face and Skype interaction, and it is now time that we provide a venue in which members can present their current research interests and interact with colleagues in the region. Ultimately the goal is to promote cross-disciplinary comparison and collaboration.

We are therefore calling for participants who will make 5-10 minute presentations as part of roundtablediscussions. These will be organized around subjects that are both as thematically coherent and as broadly multi-disciplinary as possible. Final topics will be determined by the AMEMG Executive on the basis of submissions. These roundtables, could, for example, include:

1. Extra-European contact and interaction

2. Religion, Inquisition, Law, Politics and Political Philosophy

3. Medicine, Science, Occult

4. Cultural Productions

There also will be a meeting of AMEMG to elect a new Executive, vote on various matters, and plot the future of the group.
