We invite proposals for papers and panels for ANZAMEMS 2015.
This is an open-themed conference in order to encourage the widest range of participation in the academic disciplines of medieval and early modern studies. We welcome individual papers and full panels on themes from across the period 600 to 1800, that includes, but is in no way limited to, the disciplines of history, literary studies, music, art history, intellectual history, theology and religious studies, the history of emotions, cultural studies, philosophy, science, political and constitutional history, medicine, maritime studies, law, performance studies, gender studies, and cultural heritage.
We particularly encourage papers and panels from graduate students, early career researchers, as well as honours students.
The deadline for paper and panel submissions is 31 October 2014.
Early submissions, however, are encouraged and will be processed immediately.
Conference papers are no longer than 20 minutes each in order to leave 10 minutes discussion time for each paper in any session. Each session contains three papers, and the conference program is arranged in parallel sessions spanning all 5 days of the conference.
Proposals for full panels, comprising three papers, centred on a theme, as are individual paper submissions, are most welcome.
