CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE 2001 SEWANEE MEDIEVAL COLLOQUIUM ON THE THEME
"CRUSADES AND CRUSADING IN THE MIDDLE AGES"
KEYNOTE LECTURERS: JONATHAN RILEY-SMITH, EMMANUEL COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE;
ROBERT CHAZAN, NEW YORK UNIVERSITY
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS: 1 October 2000 (for address, see below)
The 28th annual Sewanee Medieval Colloquium will meet at the University of
the South, Sewanee, Tennessee, on Friday and Saturday 6 and 7 April 2001.
In addition to two lectures by each of the keynote speakers, the program
will include 20-minute papers from any discipline; papers may be related to
the theme in any way. For instance, we would hope to include papers on the
crusade in literature, the historiography of the crusades, Christians and
non-Christians in the age of the crusades, Westerners and BYzantines in the
crusades, the art and architecture of the crusaders, the Latin East, and
the Muslim East. We would like also to have papers on the northern crusades
and the reconquest of Muslim Spain as well as the more "mainstream" Eastern
Crusades.
Those interested in participating in the Colloquium should submit two
copies of an abstract (approximately 250 words) and two copies of a brief
curriculum vitae by October 1, 2000. Papers accepted for the Colloquium
must be submitted in their final form, including critical apparatus, by
February 20, 2001, in order to reach their commentators in good time.
Sewanee Mediaeval Colloquium Prize
The Sewanee Mediaeval Colloquium Prize wil be awarded for the best paper
presented by a graduate student or recent PhD recipient (doctorate awarded
since June 1998). The prize, worth $250, will be judged by the Colloquium
Committee and presented at a plenary session of the Colloquium. Candidates
for the prize should follow the normal procedure of submitting abstracts by
October 1 and completed papers by February 20. The completed paper should
be accompanied by a letter stating that the author wishes it to be
considered for the prize.
