Membership of the AEMA is open to anyone with an interest in this field, ranging in time from the late Roman Empire to the Norman Conquest and beyond and encompassing regions from Byzantium and the Middle East to Iceland and Britain.
The AEMA holds regular conferences and publishes an annual peer-referred journal as well as distributes an email newsletter to members. Members are encouraged to share information and insights across disciplines within early medieval studies, to ensure progress and interest in this field.
The AEMA is a voluntary organisation with a revolving Committee whose members offer dedicated service ensuring the smooth-running and development of the organisation. Every year the membership elects new members of Committee by secret ballot including our Honorary officers – the President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Editor of our Journal.edit

As we continue to process the impact of COVID-19 on global and local societies, the jury is still out on whether the eruption of a global pandemic, and the subsequent disruptions and interruptions to contemporary routines, are a ‘game-changer’ or an inconvenience. The 2021 AEMA conference reflects on this tension in an early medieval context. Eruptions can be understood in many different ways, as they can describe both natural phenomena and human activity, including the sudden appearance of new movements, of groups of people, or of ideas. Were eruptions revolutionary? Or were they merely a disruption or interruption to the longue durée?
This conference calls for papers that relate to this theme, or, in the spirit of the theme, that do not.
All sessions will include time for questions and general discussion. Please send proposals (150–200 words per paper), along with author’s name, paper/panel/RT title, and academic affiliation (if any) to conference@aema.net.au by 31 July 2021. Please also direct all other enquiries about the conference to this address, as well as any nominations for hosting an in-person hub.

Submissions are invited for papers on the themed volume of the Journal of the Australian Early Medieval Association. The theme for this special issue of JAEMA is Journeys: Discovery and Belonging. The period we study was marked by the disintegration of established political and social orders, widespread migrations and incursions, and rising competition between religious ideologies. Developing forms of inter-cultural contact and exchange gave rise to new ways of conceptualising and articulating identity and alterity, but while new boundaries – physical and ideational – were established, all boundaries remained porous. People, objects and ideas continued to circulate, to take journeys.
How did existing communities and new migrants adapt to, or resist, each other? How were institutions modified to include, accommodate or exclude new worldviews? What was the role of material culture in holding fast to the old, and in legitimising and promoting new polities, new ethnicities, and new ideologies? How did cross-cultural contacts in the early medieval period shape history?
JAEMA invites essays on any related topics, including the following:
1 Exchange across borders: trade, culture, and human trafficking 1 Maintaining and modifying identity 1 Maritime exploration 1 Invasion, settlement, assimilation 1 Cultural geography: significant space and place 1 The book as traveller 1 The reader as voyager 1 Imagined other worlds 1 Imagined others 1 The idea and material expression of homelands 1 Emotions and journeys 1 Emotional journeys 1 Pilgrimage and adventure 1 Travel narratives 1 First contacts 1 Reading race and ethnicity: conflict and co-existence 1 Conversion and religious conflict 1 Accommodation and defiance—tensions in the quest to belong 1 Translation, adaptation, linguistic change 1 Viewing ‘Europe’ from outside 1 Afterlives of the early medieval in modern identity formation.
Submission Guidelines are available on the Association’s website https://www.aema.net.au/submissions.html.

aema13 is conference invites papers on the broad theme of cultural exchange in the Middle Ages. New evidence is being uncovered by novel methods and digital humanities allow diverse sources to be accessed ever more widely; our current knowledge of the pre-modern world suggests that it was more interconnected than previously thought. erefore, even though the early medieval period continues to exist in the popular imagination as backward and insular, in many ways it is a period marked by a keen interest in foreign cultures and places. is conference aims to challenge the emergent perception that the English-speaking world is retreating into isolation despite the global nature of the human past, present and the future. We welcome any papers related to all aspects of the movement of people, goods and ideas in the Late Antique and Early Medieval periods (c. 400–1150) in all cultural, geographic, religious and linguistic settings, even if they do not strictly adhere to the theme. Abstracts of 250-300 words for 20-minute papers should be submitted via email to conference@aema.net.au by 5 March 2018

The Journal of the Australian Early Medieval Association (JAEMA) is an annual refereed, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the early medieval period. Volume 13 will be published in late 2017, and submissions are invited now on any topic of early medieval studies (from late antiquity and the end of the Roman Empire to about the end of the eleventh century). JAEMA seeks engaging, original work that contributes to a collective understanding of the early medieval period. The journal welcomes papers on any theme, such as history, art history, archaeology, literature, linguistics, music and theology, and from any interpretive angle—memory, gender, historiography, medievalism, consilience and beyond.
Contributions to JAEMA 13 should be submitted to journal@aema.net.au by 1 June 2017. Articles must be written in English and between 6,000–12,000 words long, including footnotes and bibliography, and should follow the Chicago Manual of Style (16th edition). All submissions will be subject to double blind reviewing.

In 1979 Hans-Robert Jauss published The Alterity and Modernity of Medieval Literature, an essay which defined reception theory and invited us to rediscover in the alterity of the Middle Ages an aspect of its modernity. For students of the Early Middle Ages, a field defined from its naissance by an emphasis on inter-disciplinary research, Reception theory can offer a surprisingly rich return. The 12th conference of the Australian Early Medieval Association takes Reception as its theme. We will be investigating the ways in which the literature, history, language and culture of the ancient world were received into post-Classical Europe; the ways in which the literature, history, language and culture of the Middle Ages have been received into the modern world; and the ways in which the Medieval world acted as conduit for the transmission of the Classical. This allows a very wide scope for papers of course, but, as always, we will still be welcoming any papers related to the studies of the Early Middle Ages even if they do not strictly adhere to the theme.

From the Middle East to the North Atlantic, cultural differences were woven into the new social fabric of the early medieval world. Peoples, languages, religions, traditions and technologies were the threads woven into the period's complex tapestry. The Australian Early Medieval Association invites papers which explore the patterns and intersections formed by these diverse threads. Papers on any other aspect of early medieval research or scholarship will also be accepted. A title and a 250 word abstract for papers of twenty minutes in length should be submitted to the conference convener by June 30 2009. Please include affiliation
