Call for ICMA Sponsored Session Proposals

ICMA @ BYZANTINE STUDIES CONFERENCE, New York, 22-25 October, 2015

Proposals are invited for a session at the 41st annual Byzantine Studies Conference to be sponsored by the International Center of Medieval Art (ICMA) at the upcoming conference in New York this fall, 22-25 October 2015, taking place across multiple institutions. Thanks to the generosity of the Kress Foundation, the ICMA might be able to provide travel and hotel funds for the speakers at such a session up to a maximum of $600 for domestic travel, and up to $1200 for speakers coming from abroad.  Every speaker must be an ICMA member at the time of application.

To be properly considered, the proposed session should relate to both art history and Byzantine studies.  The BSC warmly welcomes the participation of western and Islamic art historians.

The proposed session will need to pass two hurdles. The procedure is the following:

1. Submit a proposal for an organized session, with a title, an abstract, a CV of the organizer and the names of 4-5 speakers, to the Programs and Lectures Committee of the ICMA for its approval.

2. The ICMA committee will decide whether to sponsor the proposed session.  It will notify the organizer, who will then submit the approved proposal to the Program Committee of the BSC, which will make the final decision.

The deadlines are these:

7 March: Submit the session proposal to the ICMA by sending it to Prof. Janis Elliott at Texas Tech University, Chair, ICMA Programs and Lectures Committee (janis.elliott at ttu.edu<mailto:janis.elliott at ttu.edu>). Guidelines are available on the ICMA website: http://medievalart.org<http://medievalart.org/>, under Membership/Kress Research and Travel Awards. Successful applicants will be notified by 25 March.

1 April. Submit the approved session proposal to the BSC, following the guidelines that are posted on the Byzantine Studies Association of North America website:

www.bsana.net<http://www.bsana.net/>. An abstract for each of the individual papers will be required at this time. Abstracts are reviewed blindly; speakers and session organizers are usually notified by mid-May.

Speakers in ICMA sponsored sessions will be refunded only after the conference, against travel receipts.  When available, the Kress funds are allocated for travel and hotel only.  In addition to presenters, organizers delivering papers as an integral part of the session (i.e. with a specific title listed in the program) are now also eligible.
