Becca Searby and I are accepting proposals for ‘Approaching Medieval Sources’, a series which provides in-depth companions to medieval sources @routledgehistory.bsky.social We’d love to hear from you if you would like to discuss a potential volume! See the attached CfP for more information.
Image: Approaching Medieval Sources Call for Proposals. Approaching Medieval Sources provides in-depth companions to the rich array of sources available for those researching the medieval period. The books in the series are dedicated to specific sources and records spanning the full range of the medieval period, c. 500-c. 1500, without geographical limits. Each volume introduces readers to the record itself, its historical and historiographical context, and includes case studies illustrating how the source can be analysed and interpreted. If you are interested in writing for the series please contact the series editors: Charlotte Pickard - pickardc@cardiff.ac.uk and Rebecca Searby.

CfP: The Noblewomen Network @imc-leeds.bsky.social 2026. If you're working on medieval noblewomen, we'd love to hear from you! Please share widely.

Deadline for abstracts: 5 September.

#IMC2026
Noblewomen played a central role in medieval society. They cultivated important networks both within their families and wider society, acting as rulers and politicians, as well as cultural and religious patrons and intermediaries. This is an ever-expanding field of research, with scholars exploring the plethora of roles that noblewomen could play in medieval life, and the ways in which they were viewed and represented by wider society. This strand of sessions will bring together scholars who work on medieval noblewomen – to build on and develop the discourse that has developed over the past few decades, with the continued aim of building a global network of scholars working in this vibrant area of research. We welcome papers spanning from across the medieval world, as well as across disciplines. Topics could include, but are not limited to: Noblewomen in time; Noblewomen’s involvement in education and learning; Noblewomen’s roles in politics and political life; Noblewomen and society; Noblewomen and the family; Noblewomen and the law; Noblewomen and patronage; Noblewomen and material culture; Noblewomen and literature; Ecclesiastical women and interactions with religious communities; Historiographical approaches to noblewomen. We invite proposals for 20-minute papers on all aspects of research relating to noblewomen. Expressions of interest and/or queries should be directed to NoblewomenIMC2020@gmail.com by 7pm on Friday 5 September 2025, with an abstract of no more than 250 words and a short biography.
