And having checked the program, it turns out that I won’t be able to make your panel, since I’m giving a talk at the same time. I’ll be interested in reading whatever sort of write-up you post on CM.

University of Bristol’s Open Bar: Noted.
The question is a great one, and I hope we have discussion on that. It’s a roundtable so, do come and raise it.

Depending on how closely you adhere to the obligations of your ancestral faith, I highly recommend the University of Bristol’s open bar–they definitely have the best quality drinks at the conference.

If I don’t make your panel, I have a question–are you going to address that the field of medieval studies has for decades been making exploratory pokes towards more thoroughly integrating the study of Islamdom? It seems that this has never really caught on in a big way because it’s hard enough to have to learn Latin, German, French, Italian, and various medieval vernaculars without also throwing Persian and Classical Arabic into the mix.

Very much wish I could listen in on (parts I and II of) the former, and I’m told those medievalists know how to get down. Have fun.

Looking forward to more details on the second presentation.
Maybe a podcast for the virtual audience.

Very cool stuff.

Much more interesting than what I’m contemplating for ASPAC….

I am also looking forward to the panel! And the chance to hang out and … did we mention the dance? And the wine hours?
