3rd Annual
"International Graduate Conference in Late Antique, Islamic and Byzantine
Studies (500-1500 CE.)", University of Edinburgh, 22-23 November 2019
This conference has
chosen to focus on inertia – how history, material culture, ideas and
communities can be seen to maintain a stayed course or deviate if a significant
force is exerted upon it. Inertia, a concept that has yet to be applied to
mainstream Late Antique studies, introduces perspectives and frameworks that
permit new approaches to traditional processes.

Austrian and Spanish Habsburgs.
