We hereby invite submissions to the 12th annual Háskóli Íslands Student Conference on the Medieval North, which will be held as a hybrid online and on-site event at the University of Iceland, April 13th-15th, 2023.
The world is a changed place post-pandemic. Conferences now
embrace the hybrid format, and open-access research is gaining momentum.
This student conference continues to embrace technology to expand access to
our forum through hybrid presentations. We are delighted to accept abstracts
from student researchers all over the world who have an interest in Medieval
northern Europe. We offer an excellent opportunity for students to share their
research and create connections with colleagues both online and in-person in
Reykjavik, Iceland. We encourage submissions on all topics and fields which
deal with the Medieval North (broadly defined).
Topics of interest may include but are not limited to:
art history
archaeology
digital humanities
gender studies
history
linguistics
manuscripts
philology
reception of the Medieval period
religion
The languages of the conference are Icelandic and English. Individual paper presentations will be 20 minutes in length, followed by 10 minutes for discussion. There is also a Poster Session for students to present their material in poster form. Students may apply for either a paper or a poster; the conference committee may offer a poster presentation to some paper applicants. The deadline for submissions is December 4th, 2022. Please direct any further inquiries to the student conference committee via the conference email.
