Dear colleagues,

Please consider submitting a paper to the joint conference of the Atlantic Medieval Association and the Atlantic Medieval and Early Modern Group, which will be held on the 12-13 October 2018 at Mount Allison University. See the poster below.

The theme is Translatio: Knowledge Migrations of the Medieval and Early Modern Periods, and we welcome papers from all fields: please see the attached poster and CFP. Please note also that the CFP includes call for contributors to a special panel on Responses from the Fields of Medieval and Early Modern Studies to the TRC’s Calls for Action.

The keynote speaker will be Dr. Samuel Gessner from the University of Lisbon. He will present a talk on the international migrations of astrolabe knowledge (texts and instruments) and his presentation will include a “hands-on” segment where audience members will get an introduction to using an astrolabe.

The deadline for 300 word proposals for 15-20 minute papers is 1 February 2018: please send the proposals by email to Janine Rogers and Lauren Beck: jrogers@mta.ca; lbeck@mta.ca.

Please circulate this call for proposals to interested colleagues: we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
Janine Rogers
