LATE ANTIQUITY and PROSOPOGRAPHY

The Society for Late Antiquity will be sponsoring three sessions at

the International Medieval Studies Congress, May 3-6, 2007, at Wes-

tern Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Mich. As in the past,topics

are open. One-page abstracts for 15-minute papers are invited rela-

ting to the history, literature, religion, art, archaeology, culture,

and society of Late Antiquity (that is, the European, North African,

and Western Asian world ca. 250-750). Attention should be given to

how the paper relates to Late Antiquity as a discrete period with its

own individual characteristics. Abstracts also are being accepted for

a session on "Early Medieval Prosopogography" (ca. 250-750) sponsored

by Medieval Prosopograpy.

Abstracts may be forwarded, preferably by e-mail, to Ralph Mathisen

at ralphwm@uiuc.edu.and ruricius@msn.com. Deadline for receipt

of abstracts is September 15, 2006.

Please note that with the exception of a few awards (information

available from conference organizers at http://www.wmich.edu/

medieval/congress) there is no travel funding available for partici-

pants, and that the submission of an abstract carries with it a com-

mitment to attend the conference should the abstract be accepted.
