It would help us greatly if the speaker keeps to the time allocated in order to allow the other speakers sufficient time to address the Conference. If however a speaker feels that 30 minutes is not enough time for his/her topic, an extended version of his/her paper can be published in the Aram periodical, while the 30 minute limit will be retained for the presentation of his/her paper at the Conference itself.<br>Papers will be accepted from accredited academics in the field, and please note that the Academic Committee of the Conference will be very strict in only accepting papers relevant to the main theme of the conference. We need you CV if you are a new contributor to an Aram conference.<br>All papers given at the conference will be considered for publication in a future edition of the ARAM Periodical, subject to editorial review.<br><br>Abstract: The Academic Committee of the Conference would like to receive your abstract before mid-February 2011. We will confirm that we have accepted your proposal on receipt of an abstract, which should be in the region of 500 words long with a bibliography of the primary sources that will be discussed. <br><br>If you wish to participate in the conference, please contact Dr. Shafiq Abouzayd:<br>Aram Society, the Oriental Institute, Oxford University, Pusey Lane, Oxford OX1 2LE, England.
