Spring, 1995. I cycled out to visit a student’s village in rural Shanxi. She’s there in the yellow shirt. Electricity had arrived just the week before. Her family owned a single light bulb. Her father carried it from room to room, screwing it into each socket so we would have light #Shanxi #China

Just shy of 2 weeks left until our #IMC2027 Call for Papers closes - 'Ordered and Disordered Communities in Clerical Thought' - we've had a great response so far but we would love to make the panel even bigger! @areforbes.bsky.social @imc-leeds.bsky.social

Grant Jones@grantosjones.bsky.social · last mo.

CALL FOR PAPERS! Alastair Forbes (@areforbes.bsky.social) and I are seeking papers for our proposed Leeds #IMC2027 session: 'Ordered and Disordered Communities in Clerical Thought' All disciplines and career stages welcome - abstracts due 14 September. @imc-leeds.bsky.social #MedievalSky

A call for papers for Leeds International Medieval Congress 2027 on the topic of 'Ordered and Disordered Communities in Clerical Thought'. This panel examines how medieval clerical and monastic cultures defined communities and situated them within social or religious order. We seek to explore how these cultures understood disorder within or between communities, as well as how their judgements shaped ideas about communal identity and belonging. Communities considered might range from individual institutions to wider social order and communities, across the entirety of Christendom in the Middle Ages. We welcome proposals from colleagues in any discipline of medieval studies and at any career stage, including postgraduate and early career researchers. Although papers should engage substantively with clerical or monastic understandings of order, they need not be confined to clerical communities or clerically authored sources. Please submit abstracts of up to 300 words for a 20-minute paper, along with a short biography, to Dr Alastair Forbes and Dr Grant Jones at: a.r.e.forbes@durham.ac.uk and grant.jones@durham.ac.uk no later than Monday 14 September 2026.

Aug 27: Feast of Máel Rubai (642-722), Irish founder-abbot of Apor Crossan (Applecross, Wester Ross). This Scottish date differs from the 21 April found in earlier Irish sources. It is believed this is due to a mix-up with Rufus of Capua. 📸Brian Gillman
