CALL FOR PAPERS: 2015 Graduate Student Conference on Byzantine Studies, Hellenic College Holy Cross in Brookline, MA on 18 April 2015.
The Mary Jaharis Center for Byzantine Art and Culture and the Michael G. and Anastasia Cantonis Chair of Byzantine Studies at Hellenic College invite proposals for the 2015 Graduate Student Conference on Byzantine Studies, which will be held at Hellenic College Holy Cross in Brookline, MA on April 18, 2015. Brookline is located just outside Boston and is easily reached from any metropolitan location.
We welcome graduate student proposals for papers in all subjects, disciplines, and methodologies related to Byzantine studies broadly conceived. We invite proposals in two categories: 20-minute conference papers and dissertation reports of 5–7 pages. Conference participants will have a chance to read the reports ahead of time to encourage dialogue.
A lunchtime roundtable, Byzantium in the Public Sphere, will convene leading figures in Byzantine studies who are using traditional and digital means to build a broader audience for the field inside and outside the academy. A list of participants will be available on the conference webpage in early February.
To submit a proposal for either type of paper, complete the short online form and upload a 500-word abstract on the Mary Jaharis Center website. Contact Brandie Ratliff, Director, Mary Jaharis Center for Byzantine Art and Culture with any questions about the conference.
Deadline: 10 February 2015. Notifications will be made by the end of February.
