HÍ Medieval North 2025 : 14th Annual Háskóli Íslands Student Conference on the Medieval North
Call For Paper (CFP) Description
We are accepting abstract submissions for the fourteenth annual Háskóli Íslands Student Conference on the Medieval North.
The Háskóli Íslands Student Conference on the Medieval North is an interdisciplinary forum for postgraduate students (masters and doctoral level) and early career researchers working in the broad field of medieval northern studies, held every April in Reykjavík, Iceland. Students who have not given papers at an academic conference before are especially encouraged to submit. The conference will be held April 10th-12th, 2025, online and in-person at Háskóli Íslands.
This conference seeks proposals on the theme of “Other Things.”
The Other has been a perennial subject in the study of the medieval north. We ask: what constitutes an Other? What Others have been ignored? How is Otherization expressed across the field’s subdisciplines? We playfully consider the double meaning of “things,” seeking consideration of objects forgotten or buried beneath academic attentions. What critical lenses have been neglected? What Other Things are there left to discover?
We accept abstract submissions on a wide range of topics connected to this theme, including but not limited to art history, archaeology, digital humanities, folklore, gender and queer studies, literary studies, manuscripts and paleography, philology, reception of the medieval period, and religious studies.
We ask that submissions address the theme.
Presenters will have the opportunity to submit their papers for a conference proceedings volume, to be published as an e-book in the autumn of 2025.
Interested student scholars should email an abstract of 250-300 words, along with a brief biography containing name, pronouns, institution, and program of study, to [email protected] by December 2nd, 2024. Please indicate whether you intend to attend the conference online or in person. The Committee reserves the right to make selections based on quality of written abstracts, adherence to submission guidelines, and timely submission.
Detailed submission guidelines may be found here: https://histudentconference.wordpress.com/abstract-submission-guidelines/
The languages of the conference are Icelandic and English. Individual paper presentations will be 20 minutes in length, followed by 10 minutes for discussion. There is also a Poster Session for students to present their material in poster form. Students may apply for either a paper or a poster. The conference committee may offer a poster presentation to some paper applicants. Please direct any further inquiries to the Conference Committee by email.
