Nuns’ Literacies in Medieval Europe III
An international and interdisciplinary conference
Universiteit Antwerpen–Antwerp, Belgium
4-7 June 2013
A conference on ‘Nuns’ Literacies in Medieval Europe’ will take place at the Ruusbroec Institute of the Universiteit Antwerpen from 4–7 June 2013. It is designed to bring together specialists working on diverse geographical areas to create a dialogue about the Latin and vernacular texts nuns read, wrote, and exchanged, primarily from the eighth to the mid-sixteenth centuries. International experts will address these issues in Antwerp. The resulting papers from this conference will form the chapters of a published volume. This conference is the third in a series of three: the first conference was held in Hull from 20–23 June 2011 (details available under ‘Hull Conference’) and the second in Kansas City from 5-8 June 2012 (details available under ‘Kansas City Conference’).

While any of the organisers may be contacted for further information about the programme, it will be most appropriate to contact Dr. Patricia Stoop in particular about practical matters to do with Antwerp, travel and accommodation.
