Location
London Global Gateway, University of Notre Dame in London
This conference aims to recalibrate how we study women in western Europe, the Islamic worlds, and Byzantium across the Middle Ages, revealing the manifold ways women shaped and were shaped by overlapping discourses of power. The intention is to contest and challenge singular perspectives on power as the ability to enact change, while also reassessing present concentration on gendered analysis as the primary way of understanding women’s actions in the past. Further details and a full programme can be found on the conference event page (https://www.ed.ac.uk/history-classics-archaeology/news-events/events/conference-shifting-paradigms).
