Novgorod in Focus at AAASS, 2007

[Daniela S. Hristova]

Dear Colleagues,

The purpose of this note is to draw your attention to an idea about 
organizing a couple of panels on the topic of *Medieval Novgorod* for 
the 2007 AAASS in New Orleans. Borrowing the title from the late H. 
Birnbaum's book on the subject, I tentatively call the panel(s) 
"Novgorod in Focus." The proposal is to have two or three panels that 
look at different aspects – linguistic, historical, political, social, 
cultural, etc. of this medieval society. If scheduled sequentially and 
possibly on the same day and at the same location, the panels will 
resemble a mini-conference on the subject, something many of you with 
whom I had shared the idea found stimulating.

If you are interested in participating, please send a title and a 
sentence or two description of your talk at your earliest convenience to 
Daniela S. Hristova, dhristov at uchicago.edu. In addition, I would 
appreciate any and all suggestions of scholars working on the subject 
that I might not be aware of or any other suggestions how to make the 
idea work better.
