The 43rd Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies
University of Birmingham
(Revolt of the people of Constantinople against Emperor Michael V. Illuminated manuscript of John Skylitzes, 12th century)
The Centre for Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies, Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity, of the University of Birmingham is pleased to be welcoming back the Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies under the auspices of The Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies.
The 43rd Spring Symposium explores the multiple ways in which Byzantine artists, rhetoricians, philosophers, theologians, satirists and political actors subverted and manipulated established rules and traditions. Through interdisciplinary dialogue the symposium aims to either qualify or challenge common held perceptions of Byzantium and the Byzantines. The symposium will consist of eighteen main papers as well as more numerous communications which are wide open to any theme in Byzantine studies. The call for communications expires on 7 February 2010.
Prospective participants and guests are kindly invited to register from now until the opening of the symposium on Saturday, March 27, 2010. You can also register online.
Accommodation options now include the University of Birmingham Conference Park (priced at £60 B&B) conveniently located within close walking distance to the Arts Building of the University of Birmingham.
