CALL FOR PAPERS

6TH ARDIT INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS

15TH-17TH MAY 2024, BARCELONA UNIVERSITY, BARCELONA

ABSTRACTS DUE BY 31 JANUARY 2024

With its many ways of expression, knowledge has led, since the dawn of humanity, to the transformation of society. Discovering, understanding and trying to reconstruct, from a broad and diverse perspective, the way in which individual and collective learning situations occurred in the Middle Ages is the purpose of this meeting. In this sense, it aims to become an opportunity to find answers and to learn new points of view on fundamental questions such as who were the transmitters of knowledge, how and where this transmission took place, or who were the receptors.

Starting from these wide conceptions of knowledge and learning, on this occasion, we consider the presentation of proposals related to the following thematic clusters:

• Studies about the institutions involved in the dissemination of knowledge in the Middle Ages

• Research regarding the organization of regulated and/or secular learning

• Education in the Muslim world and in Hebrew communities

• Tools and methodologies for measuring knowledge

• Literacy and illiteracy in society

• Issuers and receivers of knowledge

• Materials and ways of knowledge

• Educational training of women
