CFP: Late-antique hagiography colloquium in Edinburgh

15 DECEMBER 2014

Having once studied at the University of Edinburgh in the Department of Humanity (which is what Latin literature used to be called in Scotland before the consolidation that created the current academic structures), I am always happy to promote upcoming events, especially those in one of my fields of study.

The University of Edinburgh is hosting a colloquium on "Late-antique hagiography as literature," to be held 20-21 May 2015. The organizers describe the goals of the colloquium as follows:

We hope to situate late antique biographical production in relation to Classical literary sensibilities, as well as considering non-classical influences, and thus to identify areas of continuity and gradual development as well as areas of abrupt change in the form and function of such literature.

Proposals for 25-minute papers, in the form of 200-400 word abstracts, as well as any questions about the colloquium, should be submitted to Thomas Tsartsidis (T.Tsartsidis@sms.ed.ac.uk) or Christa Gray (christa.gray@ed.ac.uk) by 15 January. Grad students are particularly encouraged to submit.
