The Department of History at the University of Texas-Arlington is announcing its annual Webb/Smith Essay Competition in conjunction with the 47th annual Walter Prescott Webb Memorial Lectures. The topic for 2011-2012 is “Muslims, Christians, and Jews in the Medieval Mediterranean.” We are looking for original, unpublished article-length essays (maximum 10,000 words plus end notes) in English that explore relations between the three major cultures in the medieval Mediterranean, or the movements of people, goods, or ideas within or across the region. Geographically, submissions treating any sub-region of the Mediterranean, or links between various areas are welcome. Questions may concern, but are not limited to: cultural or technological transfers, trade and its social or political implications, warfare, conquest, migration, and theories of Mediterranean unity/disunity or inter-cultural relations. Papers that engage with current scholarship debating the connections within the Mediterranean or the utility of discussing multiculturalism in the Middle Ages are especially welcome. The goal of this day-long conference will be to critically examine aspects of the multi-cultural Mediterranean and what it means for scholars to speak of the sea as one region with several religious cultures.
