It is also the occasion of the annual meeting of the Byzantine Studies Association of North America (BSANA), conducted by the current BSANA officers:

Vice President: Cecily Hilsdale (McGill University)
Secretary: Kathleen Maxwell (Santa Clara University)

******************************************
We welcome proposals on any aspect of Byzantine studies.
Proposals may be submitted either as individual abstracts or bundled as panels. Proposals consist of a cover sheet with your proposed title, proposed panel information (if part of a panel proposal) and your contact information and, on separate pages, two copies of an abstract of no more than 500 words, formatted and submitted according to the detailed instructions below. Organized panels may also be proposed, see instructions below.
The abstract is the basis for judging the proposed paper for acceptance. All abstracts, including those bundled for proposed panels, will be reviewed by each member of the Program Committee and accepted on their own merits. The program chair will group individually submitted papers into sessions, with the expectation that many sessions will be interdisciplinary. The session topics in the final program will depend on the subjects represented in the submissions.
All proposed papers must be substantially original and never have been published or presented previously in a public forum. Each contributor may deliver only one paper. The Program Committee may give preference to those who did not present a paper at the last BSC.
All abstracts will be reviewed by each member of the Program Committee:
Sarah Brooks (James Madison University)
Scott Johnson (Georgetown University and Dumbarton Oaks)
Kostis Kourelis (Franklin & Marshall College, Chair of the Committee)
Eunice Dauterman Maguire (Johns Hopkins University)
Christian Raffensperger (Wittenberg University)
If accepted, the abstract will be published in the Byzantine Studies Conference’s annual Abstracts of Papers. Submission of the accepted abstract for publication constitutes agreement to present the paper at the conference.
To deliver your paper at the BSC, you must be a member of BSANA in good standing: to join or renew your membership in the BSANA, complete the membership form posted on the BSANA website and send it along with your dues payment to the current BSANA Treasurer (contact information listed on the membership form):
