HELLENIC STUDIES
GRADUATE STUDENT DAY
Budapest, June 5 & 6 2009
CALL FOR PAPERS
Abstract Deadline: April 10, 2009
We are happy to invite you to our first Hellenic
Studies Graduate Student Day, organized under the auspices of the CEU Center
for Hellenic Traditions. The theme of this year’s meeting will be:
Bridges and Boundaries: Revisiting the Byzantine
Inheritance. We intend to investigate a wide range of aspects regarding the
transmission and transformation of Hellenic traditions in the Greek-speaking
world and beyond. Special attention will be offered to the circulation of
ideas as well as the continuous exchange of cultural and material practices
with the neighboring regions. For this reason, a wide chronological span is
envisaged, from the Late Antiquity until the immediate period after the Fall
of Constantinople.
We invite speakers to submit papers in all areas of
Late-Antiquity and Byzantine studies. Keynote speakers will be Dr. Ruth Macrides (University
of Birmingham) and Dr. Petre Guran (South-Eastern
European Research Institute of the Romanian
Academy).
Presentations will be fifteen to twenty minutes in
length. Travel grants and accommodation in Budapest are offered. Abstracts of around
300 words should be sent by email to Cristian-Nicolae
Daniel (cht@ceu.hu) and Florin Leonte (mphlef01@phd.ceu.hu)
members of the Organizing Committee.
