2. Call for Papers Medievalists with Disabilities Roundtable Leeds IMC 2025

We invite abstracts for 5 minute talks for the roundtable. We understand disability in the broadest sense, incorporating visible and invisible impairments, chronic illness and mental health, to name but a few.
Topics might include:
· Your own circumstances in a HE institution
· Pinpointing a particular issue that needs addressing
· Highlighting an example of good practice in your own institution
· Issues of intersectionality: how disability might interact with other factors that have an impact on marginalized people e.g. gender, class, sexuality, and/or race
· Interactions between your scholarly interests as a medievalist and modern representations of disability
You can participate in a roundtable as well as presenting a paper, so please do consider submitting an abstract for this roundtable if you’re already planning to present. You don’t have to identify as disabled to participate, for example if you’d like to share an example of good practice, but priority will be given to disabled scholars.
Please submit a title for your talk as well as a brief summary (no more than 150 words) to Alex Lee (al6598@nyu.edu) by 13 September 2024.
We are also seeking a chair for the session, so please let me know if you’d like that role.

3. ONLINE Conference “Agricultural and Administrative Reforms in Ottoman Syria and their Impact on the City of Salamiyya and its Ismaili Population” (in Arabic), Institute for Ismaili Studies, Aga Khan Centre, London, 6 August 2024, 16:00 BST

We will examine the agricultural reforms represented by the Land Code of 1858 (Arazi Kanunnamesi), the land registration law of 1861 known as the tapu, and others. We will explore how these laws played an important role in the expansion of the agricultural area in Salamiyya and its surroundings, land ownership and the types of crops that were grown there, in addition to other contributions that helped making Salamiyya a distinct town in Ottoman Syria in the last decade of Ottoman rule.
