Colloque : Religious Alterity and Political Power in Medieval Polities 10-11 April 2015, MadridA conference entitled "Religious Alterity and Political Power in Medieval Polities" will take place at Saint Louis University, Madrid on 10-11 April 2015. It will feature papers from a distinguished group of experts in medieval European, North African, and Middle Eastern history, who will examine the exercise of power by individuals who belonged to subordinate or excluded religious groups (such as Jewish and Christian officials or mercenaries in Islamic states). The objective of the conference is to deepen our understanding of this remarkable phenomenon--and of its manifold causes and repercussions--by adopting a comparative approach.Participants :Nora Berend, CambridgeAntonia Bosanquet, FUBTamer el-Leithy, Johns Hopkins/ARCEHussein Fancy, MichiganMaribel Fierro, CSICAna Echevarría Arsuaga, UNEDJeremy Johns, OxfordMichael Lower, MinnesotaGiuseppe Mandalà, CSICJuan-Pedro Monferrer-Sala, CórdobaMarina Rustow, Johns HopkinsSamir Khalil Samir, S.J., USJAlejandro García Sanjuán, HuelvaLuke Yarbrough, Saint LouisRenseignements :For more information and to register to attend (free of charge), please visit the conference web page: http://www.slu.edu/department-of-history/religious-alterity.A final program will be posted there as well.
