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 · 2mo 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).

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.

Calling anyone & everyone interested in saints: Saints Outside Hagiography has *two* calls open for you to consider! First, for our next series of monthly online workshops: get in touch to propose a source from your research about saints and sanctity to discuss in an informal setting, by 25 Sept.

We invite expressions of interest to participate in the Saints Outside Hagiography workshop series 2026–2027. Our group examines how saints and holy people are represented outside the classic form of the single-text hagiography. Sessions so far have examined texts including: visual art, poetry, mortuary rolls, chronicles, liturgical texts, didactic literature, and objects. We offer an informal, work-in-progress format focused on discussion of primary sources and key methodological questions in the study of saints. Meetings consist of 1-2 brief presentations, discussing a text or object precirculated along with a short description and the speaker’s guiding questions. If you have a source related to sanctity that you would like to discuss, please get in touch with Laura Moncion (laura.moncion@philosophie.uni-tuebingen.de) and Alicia Smith (alicia.smith@uib.no) by 25 September 2026 with a brief description of the source, career stage, and institutional affiliation if any. Guidelines: • Chronological and geographical scope are open. • Participants are free to contest whether a text is ‘outside hagiography’ – we aim to study saints and the construction of saint/sanctity beyond canonical textual forms, including troubling our understanding of those forms. • If your source is not in English, we will need an English translation.

We've extended the deadline for submissions for "Queer and Trans Medieval Communities" at next year's @imc-leeds.bsky.social to *8 September*! If you work on any aspect of medieval trans and queer communitie(s), please consider sending in an abstract. We'd love to hear from you!

As the existence of the trans and queer community is under constant and increasing threat across the world – with alt-right political rhetoric in the West seeking to rupture solidarity for and within the global queer community – the work of the historian has never been more vital. Historians have long found solidarity and recognition of queer experiences and practices with individuals and groups of the past. In concert with the wealth of current research being produced in trans and queer medieval studies, this panel session responds to the urgency of this present moment. In the face of existential threats, we recognise the importance of finding community with one another, which includes understanding our community has a history. This panel session seeks not only to contribute to transtemporal and scholarly trans and queer community building, but to better understand what historical trans and queer communities and practices may have looked like – including the mechanisms and structures that attempted to preclude such community formations. Engaging with and making legible such histories constitutes an act of compassion both with historical actors and with living members of our community today. It also constitutes an act of resistance, by finding existence and continuity in community. Presentations may address but are not limited to the following topics: -Cultivating cross-temporal queer and trans community -How trans and genderqueer experiences manifest in the Middle Ages -Spaces in which queer/trans community could be manifested in the Middle Ages -Communal failure/loss of community -A failing or absence of a trans and queer community -Texts, codes, etc. used in constituting queer/trans communities in the Middle Ages -Methodologies available for talking about trans/queer communities EXTENDED TO 8 SEPTEMBER TITLE, ABSTRACT (200 WORDS) AND BIO (150 WORDS) TO: Michael Eber michael.eber@uni-koeln.de Hannah Victoria hjohnson@aup.edu Oliver Wilkin o.lg-wilkin@outlook.com

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 · 2mo ago

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.
