The Society for Late Antiquity will be sponsoring three sessions at the International Medieval Studies Congress, May 7-10, 2009, at Wes- tern Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Mich. As in the past,topics are open. One-page abstracts for 15-minute papers are invited rela- ting to the history, literature, religion, art, archaeology, culture, and society of Late Antiquity (that is, the European, North African, and Western Asian world ca. 250-750). Attention should be given to how the paper relates to Late Antiquity as a discrete period with its own individual characteristics. Abstracts may be forwarded, preferably by e-mail, to Ralph Mathisen at ralphwm AT illinois.edu.and ruricius AT msn.com. Deadline for receipt of abstracts is September 15, 2006. Please note that with the exception of a few awards (information available from conference organizers at http://www.wmich.edu/ medieval/congress) there is no travel funding available for partici- pants, and that the submission of an abstract carries with it a com- mitment to attend the conference should the abstract be accepted.
