[Discussion] "Medieval Global Economies"

"Medieval Global Economies"
University of Western Ontario, London, Canada
November 11 & 12, 2005

The goal of this conference is to bring international researchers 
together, permitting a comparative analysis, globally, of wealth and 
economic development in the middle ages, c. 300-c.1500. Who forged ahead 
in wealth, who fell behind, and of course, when and why? In making these 
comparisons, we also seek to achieve a greater understanding of the 
intersection and exchange between countries, the character of global 
economies, during these centuries. What were the legacies of medieval 
development and globalization?

We seek previously unpublished papers which address these issues of 
growth, development, and globalization during the medieval period for 
any geographical area or areas. We particularly welcome submissions that 
focus on non-European experiences. Graduate students are encouraged to 
participate and present their ongoing doctoral research.

Prospective presenters are requested to submit via email a two page 
abstract and a CV (required for SSHRC applications) to both conference 
organizers by *October 15, 2004.* Notification of acceptance will be 
made before November 1, 2004.
