This interdisciplinary conference invites abstracts for papers examining any aspect of the way that discussions about sex and human nature over the centuries have both been informed by and helped to shape ideas about past cultures and the interpretation of their material and textual legacies. We particularly welcome abstracts from postgraduates and early career scholars, for whom some limited funding may be available. Title and abstract to be received by 31 October 2008 Contact details for further information: Dr Rebecca Langlands, Classics Department, Amory Building, Rennes Drive, Exeter, EX4 4RJ Email: r.langlands at exeter.ac.uk Further conference information is available from the following website: http://www.centres.ex.ac.uk/medhist/conferences/index.shtml ---------- The text above the line was cross-posted to H-Histsex and LambdaCC by Terrence Lockyer Johannesburg, South Africa e-mail: lockyert [at] mweb.co.za Please note that I am simply fowarding this message for information, and have no personal connection with any individuals, institutions, sites, publications, or events concerned.
