The Entangled Caucasus, Medieval Caucasus Network sponsored sessions at the 2023 International Medieval Congress, University of Leeds.
July 3-6, 2023
Paper proposals on any aspect of the archaeology, cultures, faiths, societies, economies, and politics of the Caucasus throughout the medieval period (very loosely 500-1500 AD), and which touch in some way upon the theme of networks & entanglements, will be considered. This could include connections between different areas in the Caucasus, or beyond it, and may include connections between states, networks of individuals, economic connectivity, archaeological or textual comparisons and connections, or networks of entities within literary texts.
We welcome proposals from academics at all career stages, including independent scholars, and particularly welcome proposals from scholars from the region and those from marginalised backgrounds.
Abstracts of no less then 100 and no more then 250 words are to be send no later then September 15 to the both Session organizers:
