medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
so, from the title, i take it that the idea is to view the Crusade(s) as
[western] Jihads?
that's an interesting revision.

measure the interest of the participants, but right now my guess is that a
volume will not ensue. There has been, as far as I can tell, no tradition of
this for the annual NEMC (New England Medieval Conference). My own feeling is
that conferences are most useful for getting a feel for what other people in
one's area of research are working on, and presenting at conferences is a way
of beginning to get a reaction to work in progress, not finished work. The
assumption is that all of this work will eventually make its way to print by
way of a peer-reviewed process (which, on a side note, for those of us still
building careers it is important to have our work go through the peer review
process, both for feedback and for promotion at institutions which won't count
non-peer reviewed publications). But we have, for the moment, left the
question open to see what kind of papers we do get and what kind of coherence
the conference will have and whether there is participant interest.

> The world being what it is, I suspect many organisers are either a) still in
negotation with prospective publishers; or b) have a firm publication offer
but are unable to commit without a year or two's further fundraising to cover
indexing/illustrations, etc and in any case c) so keen to get delegates so as
to cover costs (even though a smaller conference can be academically more
rewarding) that they'd rather not inform them of publication plans!

drag on willingness to announce such plans. They contribute to an overall
sense that 'much could still go wrong' that stays the typing hand. The gap
between aspiration and reality with regards to conference publication is
notoriously wide.

does have very firm publication plans. Mea culpa!
