CALL FOR PAPER PROPOSALS

Submission Date: January 31, 2008

The Departments of Theology, Classics, and Mediterranean/Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Notre Dame, in cooperation with Beth Mardutho's Dorushe graduate student association, invite proposals for the 2007 Dorushe Graduate Student Syriac Studies Conference. We welcome graduate student proposals for papers in all areas related to Syriac studies.

Abstracts should be a maximum of 300 words. Papers may be given on any topic related to Syriac studies. Please be advised that the submission of an abstract and its acceptance represent a commitment from the contributor to complete the paper before the conference, as well as to present it in person at the conference.

Please include a cover sheet with your name, address, academic affiliation, e-mail address, the paper's title, as well as indication of any projection or other special facilities needed. For purposes of anonymous judging, please do not include your name or other identification on the abstract itself. This information should only be on the cover sheet. Please submit all papers in a .pdf or .doc format. If your abstract includes non-Roman characters, please use a Unicode font.

E-mail proposals in the format outlined below by January 31, 2008 to dorushe@bethmardutho.org

We welcome your submissions.
