We are grateful to have received many fascinating submissions for the 2025 Ceræ conference, and are equally delighted to announce we have developed additional program capacity and are therefore accepting abstract submissions until March 12, 2025.
Detailed submission guidelines are here.
All submissions should be emailed to ceraejournal@gmail.com.
We are also privileged to announce our two keynote speakers: Jesse Keskiaho, Docent at the University of Helsinki (Finland) and Chloë Houston, Associate Professor at the University of Reading (UK). Jesse Keskiaho is a historian of late antique and early medieval intellectual history and the author of Dreams and Visions in the Early Middle Ages: The Reception and Use of Patristic Ideas, 400-900 (Cambridge, 2015). Chloë Houston joins us from the University of Reading, where she is joint head of the English department. She specializes on the representation of cross-cultural encounter in the early modern period and has published monographs on ideal-state writing and the depiction of Persia in early modern drama. We are very excited to have them as speakers and we are grateful for their time.
Lastly, we have once again secured an exclusive Boydell & Brewer discount for all conference attendees. We would like to thank Boydell & Brewer for their generosity. Details to be provided later in April, once registrations open.
