Transmission, Translation and Dissemination in the European Middle Ages, 1000?1500 AD, is an interdisciplinary, international, two-day conference to be held at University College Cork on 28?29 September 2012.

Proposals (max. 250 words) are welcome from researchers in all areas of medieval studies. Papers should last c. 30 minutes (plus time for questions and discussion). We also welcome proposals from postgraduate students for shorter papers (c. 20 minutes plus questions). A small number of postgraduate bursaries may be available.
Proposals for papers should be emailed to: [email protected] no later than 31 March 2012. Registration details to follow. The call for papers is available as a PDF at this link.
This conference is being organised by the Forum for Medieval and Renaissance Studies in Ireland in association with University College Cork and the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse & Celtic, University of Cambridge.
