CONVERSION AND CULTURAL TRANSFORMATION FOURTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE AUSTRALIAN EARLY MEDIEVAL ASSOCIATION UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY 26-28 SEPTEMBER
Keynote Speakers : Dr Andrew Gillett, Macquarie University : Gothic Conversion : Frameworks for Interpretation
Dr Antonina Harbus, Macquarie University : Transforming Concepts in Old English Translations of Latin Texts
Dr Jonathan Wooding, University of Wales, Lampeter : Baptising the Islands of the Ocean : Biblical Prophecy and the Historiography of Conversion
I didn't know Harbus was at Macquarie! here was me whinging to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
blackbuttoneyes that anglo-saxonists are thin on the ground in Australia, just the other day. i was basing that assumption on the fact that i'd been told that Usyd is the last place teaching medieval languages. (ie, i was talking through my hat) but i guess i hadn't thought about the quite obvious fact that one could teach something else and research anglo-saxon stuff. i don't mean i expect to be finding an anglo-saxonist under every rock, but it's a good reminder of how sydney-uni centric my experience is.
and squee, Transforming Concepts in Old English Translations of Latin Texts sounds like something which may be vr. useful for the essay i'm working on for David at the moment, due shortly after said conference.
Lis, this may put a hole in our holiday plans :( I had been planning to go home on the wed or thursday and come back saturday, but the conference is wed-fri. I'll see if i can rearrange my shift the preceding weekend so as to work friday and go home sat-sun-mon.
Come round this evening, i have a real Aussie ANZAC biscuit for you.
