CALL FOR PAPERS
We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the 21st Postgraduate Colloquium of the Centre for Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies at the University of Birmingham, U.K.

The investigation of the above themes has the potential to grant insight into the everyday experiences of people, transcending class, gender and race. This colloquium aims to explore the lives of people across the eastern Mediterranean from a variety of perspectives, from Late Antiquity through to the Present Day, from textual sources to visual culture and archaeology.
Keynote Speaker: Professor Margaret Mullett, Harvard University/Dumbarton Oaks emerita.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
Taste, food and feasting
Sound and celebration
Family, kinship and relations
Religion and the sensory experience
Music and dance
Costume and colour
Papers of approximately 20 minutes or posters (maximum size A1) related to any of the fields covered by Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies are welcome. Please submit abstracts of no more than 250 words no later than Monday 6th April 2020 to 2020CBOMGScolloquium@gmail.com.
