The first session for the Fall quarter will be on October 31st. Elisha Hamlin (English) will present the paper “Birth Envy in Medieval Conversion Narratives.” Save the date!

This talk will offer an overview of a 14th-century Persian illustrated manuscript that introduces Chinese theories of the body and nature to a Persian audience.

A congenial and generative conference for the next generations of premodern scholars. Applications are due October 15!
