medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
/Church, Law and Society in the Middle Ages/ (CLASMA) Research Network
would like to announce the first of four AHRC-funded Colloquia:
*/Utrumque Ius/*
AHRC-funded Colloquium
*30 – 31 March 2010*
Robinson College, Cambridge
/Utrumque ius/ will focus on the ‘technical’ issues of the discipline:
the genres and formats of medieval legal collections; people and books;
education ‘centres’; and how lawyers were trained and became
professionals. It will also address navigating the books and related
literature, as well as the benefits and difficulties of using legal
texts as historical sources. The colloquium is aimed chiefly at
postgraduate students and early career medievalists.
There are a limited number of places and CLASMA would like to invite
applications for grants covering the colloquium, accommodation in
Cambridge for the nights of 29-30 March, meals including a reception and
colloquium dinner on 30 March. In order to maximize the number of
grants, regrettably we are unable to provide travel expenses.
A full programme is attached along with an application form.
Applications must include a brief statement of how the colloquium fits
in with your current research as well as a supporting statement from
your supervisor or mentor. Priority will be given in the allocation of
the places to those beyond Cambridge.
*The deadline for applications is Wednesday 24 February 2010. Completed
forms and any queries should be addressed to Danica Summerlin, CLASMA
Administrative Assistant at [log in to unmask]

CLASMA’s subsequent colloquia will be: 2. Lawyers, Clients and Church
Courts (autumn 2010) 3. Law and Change in the Eleventh and Twelfth
Centuries (spring 2011) 4. ‘Crime and Punishment’ (autumn 2011).**
