The Mediterranean Studies Association's 9th annual International =
Congress, "Genoa, Columbus, and the Mediterranean" will be held on May =
24-27, 2006 at the Universit=E0 di Genova. As is the case each year, =
papers and sessions on all subjects relating to the Mediterranean region =
and Mediterranean cultures around the world from all periods are =
encouraged. Following a day of optional excursions the Congress will =
open with a plenary session and reception on the evening of May 24. Over =
the course of the next days over 250 scholarly papers will be delivered =
before an international audience of about 350 scholars, academics, and =
experts in a wide range of fields. Held in the center of Genoa at the =
Universit=E0 di Genova, the official languages of the Congress are =
Italian and English. In addition, complete sessions in any Mediterranean =
language are welcome. A number of special events are being planned for =
Congress participants that will highlight the unique cultural aspects of =
Liguria. An optional five-day coach excursion of Liguria and Tuscany is =
also being planned following the close of the Congress.

See the MSA website: http://www.mediterraneanstudies.org=20

The Congress is sponsored by the Mediterranean Studies Association, the =
Universit=E0 di Genova, the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, and =
the University of Kansas. Selected revised papers will be considered for =
publication in the Association's journal, Mediterranean Studies.

The Mediterranean Studies Association is an interdisciplinary =
organization that promotes the scholarly study of Mediterranean cultures =
in all aspects and disciplines. It is particularly concerned with the =
ideas and ideals of western Mediterranean cultures from Late Antiquity =
to the Enlightenment and their influence beyond these geographical and =
temporal boundaries.

Proposals for papers and sessions are now being solicited. Papers and =
proposals for sessions are encouraged which focus on the Congress theme, =
but any paper or session proposal with a Mediterranean theme, from any =
period and any discipline, will be considered. Proposals for roundtable =
discussions of a topical work or theme are also welcome. The typical =
panel will include three papers, each lasting twenty minutes, a chair, =
and (optionally) a commentator. For examples of paper and session =
topics, and the range of subjects, see the programs from Lisbon (1998), =
Coimbra (1999), Salvador (2000), Aix-en-Provence (2001), Granada (2002), =
Budapest (2003), Barcelona (2004), and Messina (2005). These are =
available at the MSA website: http://www.mediterraneanstudies.org=20

Proposals should include a 200-word abstract for each paper and a =
one-page curriculum vitae for each participant, including chairs and =
commentators. Each participant's name, e-mail and regular address, and =

for consideration. Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis on the =
fifteenth of each month. The open submissions period closes on December =

other costs of participants.
