6) SEEKING PANEL PARTICIPANTS
SMH member Dana Cushing is looking for papers for a session about “Maritime History of the Early Crusades (before 1204)” to be presented at the next Kalamazoo conference (May 13-16, 2010).
This is an emerging field, so he would like especially to encourage graduate students and non-medievalists (such as art historians, archaeologists, professional seamen, etc.) to participate.
Please send a one-page Abstract before 25 September 2009 to:
