A quick reminder about the following CFP for a number of panels which will be convened at the upcoming ANZAMEMS conference in Wellington, 7-10 February, 2017:
Late-Antiquity Panel
We welcome abstracts on most any aspect of late antiquity which we will group and then put forward to the programme committee.

Keeping it in the Family Panel
The panel will investigate the extended family in its widest sense – encompassing mistresses as well as wives, children – legitimate and illegitimate, apprentices, servants and slaves. Families who maintained a connection to their place of origin are as significant as those for whom the dislocation was permanent for, as Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks has shown, interactions and relationships between individuals who are mobile affect those within their network who are not and so even fixed locations can be ‘saturated with transnational relationships’.
