IMC 2019<\/p><\/div>\n

Inspired by Levi’s call <\/a>for Leeds and Kalamazoo papers on the blog a few weeks ago I thought I’d post one of my own for Leeds 2019…<\/p>\n

I’m currently in the process of putting together a session (or two, if there’s a lot of interest) on Fertility and Infertility for next year’s International Medieval Congress <\/a>at Leeds. I’ve been working on a long-term project on medieval attitudes to infertility for some time, and have written about it on the blog before.<\/a> Infertility and childlessness crop up in a wide range of medieval texts and my sense, from discussing the subject informally with other medievalists over several years, is that quite a few people are now working on this and related topics from a variety of angles,\u00a0building on what is now\u00a0a large and sophisticated body of work from historians of medicine in particular. It would be nice to bring some of these scholars together and think about future directions for the field.<\/p>\n

So, if you’re working on medieval fertility\/infertility\/reproduction related topics and would be interested in giving a paper, please get in touch with me by 15th September<\/strong> – c.r.rider@exeter.ac.uk.\u00a0 Papers that approach the subject from any angle or source base\u00a0are welcome, and could include people working on history of medicine, literature, demography, marriage, etc. And if you are more organized than me and\u00a0have already made your Leeds plans but would be willing to chair a session, please also get in touch.<\/p>\n

Catherine Rider, Associate Professor in Medieval History<\/p>\n
