Description

This panel seeks to bring together scholars whose work reimagines some aspect of the medieval world and/or encourages new perspectives on older topics. We are looking for papers on a wide variety of themes and welcome work focusing on Europe and/or the Islamic world in any era c.500-c.1500. Research from all areas of medieval studies will be considered. This panel will complement a roundtable discussion of Christian Raffensperger’s Reimagining Europe: Kievan Rus’ in the Medieval World held at the 2014 annual meeting of the Ohio Academy of History. Although the Ohio Academy of History is sponsoring the panel presenters need not be members of the organization nor currently working in Ohio to participate.
