Conference Announcement
SHIFTING FRONTIERS IN LATE ANTIQUITY
Final arrangements are now underway for the conference on "Shifting
Frontiers in Late Antiquity", sponsored by The Department of History
and the Program in Late Antiquity and Medieval Studies at the Univer-
sity of Kansas, to be held in Lawrence, Kansas, March 23-26, 1995.
The conference will examine topical and methodological aspects of the
ways in which Late Antiquity (c. A.D. 260-640) serves as a frontier in
the Mediterranean, European, and Near Eastern worlds. There will be
sessions on geographical, ethnic, spiritual, religious, intellectual,
psychological, social, ethnic, gender, and cultural frontiers. Over
25 presentations by specialists in various aspects of frontier studies
are scheduled. The conference is designed to allow for the greatest
possible degree of personal interaction among the registrants, and a
number of special events also are scheduled. Those interested in at-
tending should contact Ralph W. Mathisen (EMAIL: [log in to unmask]

formation, and registration materials.
