Call for Papers

12th Annual Mediterranean Studies Congress

Università di Cagliari

Sardinia, Italy

May 27 - 30, 2009

The Mediterranean Studies Association's 12th annual International Congress
will be held on May 27-30, 2009 at the Università di Cagliari. 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 Wednesday,
May 27. Over the course of the next days over 150 scholarly papers will be
delivered before an international audience of about 250 scholars, academics,
and experts in a wide range of fields. Held in the historic city of
Cagliari, the official languages of the Congress are English, Italian, and
Spanish. 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 Sardinia. An
optional five-day coach excursion of Sardinia and Corsica is also being
planned following the close of the Congress.

The Congress is sponsored by the Mediterranean Studies Association, the
Università di Cagliari, the Istituto di storia dell'Europa mediterranea del
CNR-Cagliari, the Comune di Cagliari, the Provincia di Cagliari, Utah State
University, 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, published by Manchester
University Press.

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 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
