REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!
The conference seeks to explore the many varieties of translation at work in medieval and early modern studies. We invite papers which deal with diversity and change in areas such as language, culture, religion, space. We are interested in exploring both how medieval and early modern cultures understood translation, and how modern scholars make disciplinary, linguistic and social translations in their work. We encourage papers on these themes (and others pertaining to medieval and early modern studies), and papers from postgraduate students and early career researchers are especially welcome.
ANZAMEMS regrets to announce that the PATS Exploring the Manuscript Book, scheduled for 18 Feb 2013 at the State Library of Victoria will no longer be going ahead, and apologizes for any convenience caused. Further information about Postgrad and Advanced Training Sessions to be held later in the year will be posted in due course.
