The 11th international conference on Origen studies:
Colloquium Origenianum Undecimum
‘Origen and Origenism in the History of Western Thought’
Aarhus University
26-31 August 2013
First Circular
Dear colleagues
It is a pleasure for me to invite you to attend the 11th international conference on Origen studies: Colloquium Origenianum Undecimum.
The conference will take place at Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark, 26-31 August 2013.
The theme of the conference will be ‘Origen and Origenism in the History of Western Thought’. This theme includes a number of sub-themes, such as the reception of Origen and Origenism in philosophy and theology, from the earliest reception in the third and fourth centuries through the Middle Ages to the most recent reception in the 20th century; the philological work on Origen’s texts; the use or rejection of Origen’s exegetical principles etc. The programme may also include a section on Origen and Origenism in other traditions, for example in Orthodox theology.
The conference will have a special focus on young scholars as the conference programme will include workshops specifically designed for the presentation and discussion of doctoral and postdoctoral projects. Presentations at these workshops do not necessarily have to be on the conference theme.
We are presently negotiating with different hotels to obtain the most favourable prices and intend to provide a variety of accommodation possibilities at different price levels, including cheap rooms for doctoral students. Our next circular will provide information about the possibilities.
This circular has been sent to all scholars appearing on our various lists of e-mail addresses. However, as we have not been able to include all potential attendees, we would like to encourage you to forward the circular to anyone else who you think may be interested in taking part in the conference. It is especially important that you make doctoral students and young scholars who have not attended previous conferences aware of this conference. Please ask those to whom you forward the letter to respond directly to me so that they can be put on our mailing list.
The conference website will be available later this year. More information about that will follow in the next circular.
