Subject: Call for Papers: Byzantine and Ottoman Civilizations in World <br>
History<br>
Date: August 26, 2009<br>
<br>
Byzantine and Ottoman Civilizations in World History<br>
<br>
A Symposium Sponsored by Istanbul Sehir University and the World History <br>
Association, 21-24 October 2010<br>
<br>
Istanbul, Turkey<br>
<br>
Istanbul Sehir University and the World History Association proudly <br>
announce a symposium focusing on the world-historical significance of <br>
Byzantine and Ottoman civilizations, 330-1922. The symposium will <br>
consist of approximately 30 papers by Turkish and international <br>
participants, plus a keynote address and several other plenary sessions. <br>
The official languages of the symposium are English and Turkish.<br>
<br>
Panel and paper proposals dealing with Byzantine and/or Ottoman <br>
civilizations in the context of world history and across all relevant <br>
disciplines are invited and should be submitted electronically using <br>
this form only no later than 1 October 2009 and submitted to: <br>
<a href="mailto:thewha%40hawaii.edu">thewha@hawaii.<wbr>edu</a> Delivery time for each paper must not exceed 20 <br>
minutes. Panels, each of which is two hours in length, should consist <br>
of a chair, four paper presenters, and, if possible and desirable, a <br>
commentator. The commentator is not mandatory. Panel proposals may <br>
consist of only three papers, but see below regarding that. Please <br>
also see below for individual paper submissions. A committee will <br>
review all proposals and make its decision regarding acceptances by 15 <br>
November 2009. Criteria for acceptance include the proposal's <br>
world-historical scope, its originality, and its depth of scholarship. <br>
The conference organizers will endeavor to publish selected papers <br>
delivered at the symposium.<br>
<br>
Successful participants must pay their own travel and lodging expenses. <br>
However, Istanbul Sehir University will assist conferees in securing <br>
accommodations at nearby 4- and 5- star hotels at deeply discounted <br>
conference rates. Moreover participants who are presenting will be <br>
hosted daily for lunch and dinner throughout the conference and will <br>
enjoy a complimentary city tour to major Byzantine and Ottoman sites. <br>
There is no registration fee. Periodic informational updates will appear <br>
at: www.thewha.org <<a href="http://www.thewha.org/">http://www.thewha.<wbr>org/</a>> beginning September 2009.<br>
<br>
Persons not presenting a paper may also register for the conference, <br>
attend at no fee, and will be eligible for the discounted lodging. <br>
On-line registration will be found as early as 15 July 2009 at the WHA <br>
web site, www.thewha.org <<a href="http://www.thewha.org/">http://www.thewha.<wbr>org/</a>> . In order to <br>
participate in any capacity, persons must register on-line no later than <br>
15 September 2010.<br>
