We extend a cordial invitation to all scholars and students (BA, MA,
PhD) interested in the study of the Anglo-Saxon period and its
multifaceted culture and society. This year we want to encourage
participants to show the rich tapestry of approaches to Anglo-Saxon
studies. This will hopefully allow for an interdisciplinary discussion
and the continuation of our mission to gather scholars interested in
the Anglo-Saxon past.
We welcome abstracts on any topic related to the Anglo-Saxon period
(or its reception in later eras) in the linguistic, literary, or
cultural realms of research, such as:
 - historical linguistics (e.g. phonology, syntax, semantics,
pragmatics, discourse studies, lexicology);
 - translation studies (e.g. translation in the Early Middle Ages,
translation from OE into modern languages or modern translations into
OE);
 - literary studies (e.g. history of literature, adaptation studies,
comparative analysis, medievalism);
 - history and archaeology (e.g. history of art, history of culture,
military history, social history, manuscript studies, paleography);
and more!
Papers may address, but are not limited to the following themes:
 - hierarchy and roles in Anglo-Saxon society,
 - hostile and non-hostile contacts with other cultures or societies,
 - transmission and development of ideas,
 - education, natural science, prognostics,
 - maxims, gnomic verse, sermons,
 - Anglo-Saxon glosses, texts on grammar,
 - literary and other representations of the Anglo-Saxon past,
 - Anglo-Saxon material culture (art, artifacts, everyday objects
etc.)
Submission deadline: 5 January 2026
Conference language: English
Paper Proposals: We invite students and scholars from various academic
fields to submit their proposals for twenty-minute papers in the form
