Call for Papers

AEMA's seventh annual conference will be held from 18-19 November 2010 at
the Old Senate Room, Irwin St building, The University of Western Australia.
This symposium will explore the subject of courage and cowardice in the
early medieval world, c.300-1100, across a range of disciplines.

Paper proposals from any relevant areas of study are welcome. Possible
approaches and themes may include: representations in literature, culture
and the arts; intellectual and religious understandings; social attitudes;
gender implications; anthropological approaches; archaeologies of courage
and cowardice. Papers on all subjects of the early medieval world will be
considered, but those adhering to the theme will be given priority if a
large number of abstracts are received.

Abstracts of c. 300 words for a 20-minute paper are now being called for
from interested participants. Submissions of 3 x 20 minute paper panel
proposals are also welcome. Please supply abstracts, names of contributors
and contact details.

Email submissions to Shane McLeod at conference@aema.net.au by 30 June 2010.
