American Cusanus Society: long-range Kalamazoo planning
Contact: Chris Bellitto: cbellitt@kean.edu
· Our goal is to continue to have three panels of three papers each at Kalamazoo every year.
I have taken on the role of planning ACS (and hopefully co-sponsored) sessions for Kalamazoo 2022-2024. Instead of thinking this through year-by-year, I’d like to gather your ideas for future panels. Please share this Call for Ideas as widely as you wish.
Some initial thoughts:
· Are there any upcoming anniversaries of events, documents, births/deaths, institutes/study centers?
· Is it time to do another “state of scholarship” roundtable?
· Is there a particular study or new translation/editing of documents on which to focus a panel: recently-published? Coming out soon?
Some potential partners
· Our sister organizations in UK, Argentina, Japan, et al
· International Medieval Sermon Studies Society
· Gerson Society
· Politicas
· Episcopus
