medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
with apologies for cross-posting...
Dear all~
I'm pleased to announce:
A conference on ‘Nuns’ Literacies in Medieval Europe’ will take place at the University of Hull from 20–23 June 2011. It is designed to bring together specialists working on diverse geographical areas to create a dialogue about the Latin and vernacular texts nuns read, wrote, and exchanged, primarily from the late eighth to the mid-sixteenth centuries. To date, there has been significant research in this field but little in the way of cross-cultural study. For this reason twenty-five international experts (from Belgium, Denmark, England, Germany, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, the United States, and Wales) will address these issues in Hull. The resulting papers from this conference will form the chapters of a published volume.
For further details, please contact the organisers: Dr Veronica O’Mara, University of Hull ([log in to unmask]), Dr Virginia Blanton, University of Missouri-Kansas City ([log in to unmask]), and Dr Patricia Stoop, University of Antwerp ([log in to unmask]). A conference website on ‘Nuns’ Literacies in Medieval Europe’ will be available early in the New Year.
Many thanks for your help in circulating information to those who might be interested. We plan additional conferences in 2012 and 2013 on this topic. Please let me know of any interest, off-list.
Best,
Ginny
