We will prioritize talks that fit into one of the following categories: - Original research on premodern topics outside of Europe. This includes, but is not limited to, themes that largely focus on Asian and South American topics, Indigenous Studies, African Studies, and other disciplines or subfields of the Humanities that emphasize extra-European histories, languages, epistemologies, and cultures. - Teaching strategies for challenging Eurocentric framings while teaching courses focused on European topics, actors, and influences. Deadline: February 1, 2018 Conference attendees will be invited to participate in a variety of related events, including a tour of the University of Minnesota Libraries’ premodern collections and a keynote address by Professor Guojun Wang from Vanderbilt University. This conference is supported by the Consortium for the Study of the Premodern World, the Center for Early Modern History, and the Center for Medieval Studies at the University of Minnesota.
