Notre Dame Rome

Notre Dame Rome is pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the conference "Crossing Boundaries, Fostering Dialogue: Humanities, Academia and the City of Rome", organized in collaboration with Università Roma Tre, to be held in Rome on October 19–20, 2026.

The conference brings together two interconnected events:

Giornata di studi: Boundaries and Intersections in Premodern Italy (October 19), featuring interdisciplinary presentations by postdoctoral and early-career scholars

Roundtable: Boundaries of Academia: Impact, Careers, and the Postdoctoral Condition (October 20), devoted to a discussion with senior academics on the professional and structural challenges facing early-career researchers

The initiative seeks to foster dialogue between premodern studies and contemporary academic concerns, placing particular emphasis on the notion of “boundaries” as both a heuristic and a critical problem.
