So I've had a speaker drop-out last minute from the session dedicated to Old Norse female networks and communities! I still need to figure out next steps but is there coincidentally anyone who'd like to present in this session? #MedievalSky #OldNorse

Juliane Witte@julianewitte.bsky.social · 4mo ago

I'm organising sessions about medieval female networks and communities for next year's (2027) @imc-leeds.bsky.social!! The CFP is purposefully broad and open, so do share with whoever you think might be interested and hit me up with any questions! #MedievalSky

In line with IMC’s thematic focus on communities, this series of sessions will explore female networks and communities in the Middle Ages from a variety of methodological, theoretical, and disciplinary angles. While many medieval sources focus expressly on men and male characters, relationships between women and female characters exist, even if they are sometimes hidden away at the margins. The goal of these sessions is to put female networks, communities, and relationships at the centre of our focus and thereby gain a more nuanced insight into the Middle Ages and our engagement with the time period and its various outputs. In this context, both “network” and “community” are defined as broadly as possible, namely as relationships of any sort between medieval women, female characters in texts, and/or female audiences (both medieval and modern, both scholarly and popular). The aim of these sessions is to explore where and how such networks and communities can be located, how they are depicted, what effect they have upon their narratives or their historical surroundings, and how we connect to them now. The desire is for these sessions to be as broad and exploratory as possible, inviting scholars from a variety of disciplines. Papers could address intersectional communities, religious networks, the performance of community, inclusion/exclusion, and much more in historical, literary, and/or material contexts. Doctoral Candidates, late-stage MA students, and Early Career Researchers are actively encouraged to send in proposals. I am planning an edited volume based on these sessions. Please send an abstract (max. 300 words) and a short biography to juliane.witte@uni-tuebingen.de by the 31st of July 2026. Please do state whether you’d prefer to attend in person or online. Feel free to also reach out with any questions!

#medievalsky - are you still hunting for a session to join at #IMC2027? A late change to our presenters means we have just one spot left on our panels! Come and join us!

What made a medieval self? CFP, Leeds #IMC2027, July 5-8: ‘Constructing Selves, Constructing Communities’. We would love to hear from graduate students and early career researchers who may like to join us at @imc-leeds.bsky.social! See CFP for more info. Abstracts due September 7 #medievalsky

Call For Papers: IMC Leeds 2027 Constructing Selves, Constructing Communities What made a medieval self? Augustine’s noverim me, noverim te (“May I know myself; may I know You”) suggests that knowing oneself depended upon relationships with both God and other people. Taking this insight alongside Paul Ricoeur’s distinction between idem (sameness) and ipse (selfhood), this panel asks how medieval people negotiated selfhood through their relationships with communities, institutions, and the divine. This panel aims to explore how selves and communities were imagined, enacted, negotiated, and transformed through material culture, texts, language, and social practice. We are particularly interested in the significance of belonging, memory, and authority in shaping both individual and collective experience. Papers may consider, among other themes: • Communities of belonging: • Embodied and material expressions of selfhood • Texts, rituals, and discourse: how rhetoric, narrative, images, and language mediated relationships between individuals, communities, and the divine. • Authority, spaces and social order: how hierarchy, sacred or social spaces, exclusion, and reputation structured medieval selves and communities. We welcome interdisciplinary approaches from across medieval studies. We invite submissions of a 150–250 word abstract, accompanied by: a paper title; a brief personal biography including your current institutional affiliation (if any) and academic title (if any); your full contact details (email and phone); any equipment/accessibility requirements and scheduling requests; and whether you intend to participate in person or virtually. Submissions must be sent to ceraejournal@gmail.com by 11:59 PM (GMT) Monday 7 September 2026. All submissions will be reviewed by the Ceræ Committee. Decisions will be communicated to all applicants within 5 days of the deadline.

10 days left to submit your abstract for our @imc-leeds.bsky.social session on the communities of medieval Norway -- organised by @marycoconnor.bsky.social and me! Please share widely 🤗 #medievalsky #oldnorse

Jonas ZA@jonasza4.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Let's revisit medieval Norway at #IMC2027! @marycoconnor.bsky.social and I are back with another call for papers, this time on 'Communities of the Realm: Shaping Thirteenth-Century Norway'. #medievalsky @imc-leeds.bsky.social

CfP: Communities of the Realm: Shaping Thirteenth- Century Norway In the wake of civil wars which racked Norway throughout much of the twelfth century, the monarchs of the ‘long thirteenth century’ strove to reshape and define the communities of the Norwegian realm. Their efforts ranged from defining the ranks of the king’s retainers, to reforming the laws circumscribing Norway as a distinct legal community, to transforming its literary landscapes and creating new cultural values aimed at elite communities. Communities beyond the courts were affected by these movements or actively reshaped themselves independently. This session seeks to explore such questions as: how were communities in thirteenth-century Norway imagined? How did they change or remain static across this period? How effective were royal efforts in achieving changes in the political and cultural communities of their realms? We invite papers which address any aspect of community taking place in Norway during the thirteenth century, but also in Iceland as its political status changed over the course of the century. - Political change and legal reform - Norwegian imperialism - Foreign diplomacy - The hirð - Communities of elites - Military communities - Rebellion against new political communities - Cultural communities - Religious communities - Literary communities - Linguistic communities - Indigenous communities - Marginalised and excluded communities Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words and a brief biography by Friday 18th September to Mary Catherine O’Connor (maryoconnor@balliol.ox.ac.uk) and Jonas Zeit-Altpeter (j.zeit-altpeter@student.uib.no).
