Network Early Medieval Monasticism (original) (raw)

Network for the Study of Late Antique and
Early Medieval Monasticism

As a result of the sessions on Negotiating Monasticism in the Early Middle Ages at the 2011 Kalamazoo conference, we decided to establish a research network for scholars who work prmarily on the history of monasticism in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. The purpose of this network is to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information and to encourage collaboration and discussion. We also organize conference sessions in Leeds and Kalamazoo.

Any scholar working on early monasticism (roughly within the first millennium A.D.) is invited to participate, particularly those working on Ph.D. projects and those in the early stages of their careers.

We publish a quarterly email newsletter with information about new publications and projects, upcoming events, and calls for support and collaboration. We also post information about recent publications, conferences, jobs and fellowships on this website.
Many members of the network have a page on academia.edu. For more information or to join the network, please contact Albrecht Diem (adiem@maxwell.syr.edu).
