Law and (Dis)Order – Call For Papers

Law and (Dis)Order
Sewanee Medieval Colloquium
The University of the South, Sewanee, TN
13-14 April, 2018

The Sewanee Medieval Colloquium invites papers exploring aspects of law, order, disorder and resistance in all aspects of medieval cultures. This includes legal codes, social order, orthodoxy and heterodoxy, poetic or artistic form, gender construction, racial divisions, scientific and philosophical order, the history of popular rebellion, and other ways of conceptualizing our theme.

Papers should be twenty minutes in length, and commentary is traditionally provided for each paper presented. We invite papers from all disciplines, and encourage contributions from medievalists working on any geographic area. A seminar will also seek contributions; please look for its separate CFP soon. Participants in the Colloquium are generally limited to holders of a Ph.D. and those currently in a Ph.D. program.

Please submit an abstract (approx. 250 words) and brief c.v., via our website (http://medievalcolloquium.sewanee.edu), no later than 26 October, 2017.

If you wish to propose a full panel session, please submit abstracts and vitae for all participants in the panel.

Completed papers, including notes, will be due no later than 13 March, 2018.
