Very excited to share the Call for Papers for the second MEMRN Winter Conference, come and join us in Norwich this November!

MEMRN @memrn.bsky.social · Aug 5

CALL FOR PAPERS!!! The MEMRN Committee are delighted to share the call for papers for our second annual Winter Conference: Fragmented Worlds, Shared Histories.

Please share widely! Sponsored by @chase-dtp.bsky.social

We, the committee of the CHASE Medieval and Early Modern Research Network (MEMRN), are overjoyed to announce the return of our Winter Conference this year between the 14th and 16th November.

Join us at the University of East Anglia and online for three exciting days of workshops, papers, social events, and adventure through the historic cathedral city of Norwich.
We welcome papers on a range of topics within medieval and early modern studies for this interdisciplinary conference, including:

* History and politics
* Philosophy and theology
* Literature, drama, performance culture and music
* Latin and vernacular languages
* Art history, architecture and archaeology
* Manuscript studies and book history

For this year's conference, we particularly encourage papers engaging with marginalised histories and communities, global intercultural contact and exchange, or conflict and diplomacy.

We invite abstracts of up to 250 words for individual research papers of twenty minutes in length (or 700 words for a panel of three people presenting on a particular subject or sub-theme).

The CHASE MEMRN conference remains open to all UK and overseas postgraduates. This includes independent scholars who are unaffiliated at this time. When submitting your abstract, please include your institution (if applicable) and, if from a CHASE-affiliated university institution, whether or not you are directly funded by CHASE.
All proposals should be emailed to chasememrn@gmail.com by Friday
12th September with the subject line 'Conference Paper Submission' and your name. Priority will be given to those available to present in-person, but remote presentation applications will also be considered.

Please feel free to contact the MEMRN team via email or social media DM with any questions you may have. We look forward to welcoming you to Norwich as part of this proudly CHASE-funded event.

It was a joy to give the @memsunikent.bsky.social research seminar last night to a wonderful Kentish cohort; speaking on Bishop Gundulf and his remembrance at Rochester through the Norman charters of the Textus Roffensis.

The @memrn.bsky.social conference was everything we hoped it would be: an open, informal, and friendly space for the sharing of wonderfully diverse interdisciplinary research. To say that I am proud of our humble little network, and of my fellow organisers, would be an understatement

I did not get much of a chance yesterday to share or praise the incredible research that was showcased during the first day of the @memrn.bsky.social Winter Conference, but I wanted to say a very quick congratulations this morning to our wonderful speakers - here's to day two!
