Medieval Equestrianism, sessions at the 24th International Medieval Congress, University of Leeds, July 3–6, 2017

Following the success of Medieval Equestrianism Sessions at the IMC Leeds 2016, we invite papers for special sessions on medieval equestrian history for the International Medieval Congress at Leeds in 2017. We welcome papers on theoretical and practical aspects of medieval equestrianism, as well as for the special strand of IMC 2017, ‘Otherness’. We also accept papers using experimental and reconstruction approaches building on profound scholarly research.

In particular, we seek papers in the following fields:

• Archaeology and archaeozoology;
• Economics and medieval agriculture;
• Environmental studies and climatology;
• Animal studies and human-animal encounters; and
• Other approaches to medieval equestrianism in the fields of arts and humanities.
