This collection has the specific goal of looking at the legal uses and intellectual/creative understanding of disability in the Middle Ages (within Europe in the first instance, but with some interest in other geographical areas as well). We welcome proposals of roughly 1000 words or finished papers from any relevant discipline or from between disciplines (history, theology, various literatures, philosophy, etc).

RETHINKING HISTORY: THE JOURNAL OF THEORY AND PRACTICE invites proposals for
a themed issue entitled ³Liberalism, Conservatism, Radicalism, and
Historical Materialism.² The issue is part of Volume 13, will be published
in 2009, and is guest edited by Dennis Dworkin, Associate Professor of
History, at the University of Nevada. Reno.
While historians have often prided themselves on their objectivity and
detachment, it is well known that some of the most influential historical
texts have been politically impassioned. Some of the most famous examples
come from the various traditions of ³history from below,² but they are not
limited to these, and they exist across the political spectrum.

CFP: New Maps of the Mind: Neuroscience, Microscopy and the Literary
Imagination
We are looking for one or two delegates to join us on a panel on
neuroscience and literary modernism at the MSA 9th Annual Conference
Geographies of Visual and Literary Culture in Long Beach, CA (1 - 4 November

improved technology in the area of microscopy, suggested profoundly new ways
of looking at the nervous system, making its internal organisation and
geography visible to the human eye. Whilst the workings of the human mind
