A two-day conference to be held at the University of Liverpool from Friday, 8 to Saturday, 9 July 2016.

The ‘Irish Sea in the Middle Ages’ Interdisciplinary Research Network was established in 2014-15 by scholars at the Universities of Liverpool, Manchester and Chester and brings together scholars from a range of disciplines, including History, Archaeology, Historical Geography, Language and Literature and Genetic Anthropology.

The Network was established because of the obvious centrality to the history of the whole of the British Isles in the middle ages of the regions around the Irish Sea. Given the current relevance of political allegiance and national or quasi-national identities, the time is ripe to give greater coherence to the scholarship on this region in that period.

This two-day conference at Liverpool follows a series of sessions at the International Medieval Congress in July 2015 at the University of Leeds.

A conference dinner will be held for participants at 7.30pm on Friday, 8 July. Please visit the conference website to learn more about sessions, presentations and registration.
