CALL FOR PAPERS REMINDER

The Society for Late Antiquity will be sponsoring three sessions at
the International Medieval Studies Congress, May 5-8, 2004, at
Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Mich. As in the past,
topics are open. One page abstracts are invited relating to the
history, literature, religion, art, archaeology, culture, and
society of Late Antiquity (that is, the European, North African, and
Western Asian world ca. 250 700). Attention should be given to how
the paper relates to Late Antiquity as a discrete period with its
own individual characteristics.
In addition, 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@.... Deadline for receipt of
abstracts is September 21, 2004.
Please note that with the exception of a few awards (information
available from conference organizers:
http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress ) there is no travel funding
available for participants, and that the submission of an abstract
carries with it a commitment to attend the conference should the
abstract be accepted.
