Crusades: Medieval Worlds in Conflict |
| Description |
Speakers Include: Michael Angold, University of Edinburgh World events continue to bring the subject of the Crusades to a place of prominence and importance. This surge of interest comes on the heels of a renaissance in Crusade scholarship that has greatly expanded our understanding of all aspects of the movement. While a western phenomenon, the Crusades also represented an interactive episode in which diverse cultures - western Christian, eastern Christian, Jewish, and Muslim, among others - came into contact, conflict, and collaboration. The International Symposium on Crusade Studies is organized quadrennially by the Crusades Studies Forum at Saint Louis University to explore and inquire into these questions and dynamics. The Symposium provides a venue for scholars to approach the Crusades from many different perspectives, to present the fruits of new research, and to assess the current state of the field.

Papers need not be confined to the theme, but may cover many aspects of medieval and Renaissance life, literature, languages, art, philosophy, theology, history and music. Student sessions welcome.

Call for Contributors: Edited volume on "Religion and Society in Medieval India (1200-1800)" |
| Description |
We are now working on an edited volume on "Religion and Society in Medieval India (1200-1800)", which is intended to look into the different strands of ideologies that appeared in Hinduism, Islam, Christianity and Sikhism in India during the period between 1200 and 1800 AD and their impact on the society, economy and polity both at the regional and larger levels. We would like to invite contributions from scholars who can participate in this book project and write on any of these belief systems, highlighting both orthodox and heterodox strands within them. This volume is meant to serve the purpose of a text-book for the post-graduate and research students of various universities of India, besides being a guide for the inquisitive minds. It proposes to draw on such different perspectives asking how the Indian society was made to evolve differently thanks to the multiple types of responses given to the plurality of versions for the religious ideologies or how much regional variations were there for the belief systems from outside upon their entry in India and how far the resourcefulness/dearth of resources of the areas where the belief systems got shaped or introduced, influenced their dogmas, moral and social teachings and also how far the moral and spiritual power connected with the religious institutions was appropriated by the political rulers for augmenting their power domains. The issue areas are centered also around the nature and type of entrepreneurial motivation that the different religious ideologies used to bestow upon individuals and the nature of the religious life and practices in different eco-zones, in the core areas of political/religious life and in places distanced away from it. This work is intended to be a comprehensive volume consisting of five research articles each under each of the belief systems mentioned above. We would be extremely pleased to hear from scholars who would like to contribute. For more information, kindly contact: Dr.Pius Malekandathil |
