>The study of sports has always been important in our attempts to 
>understand cultures both old and new, and this is certainly true for 
>explorations of the Middle Ages.  Important scholarship in the last 
>few decades has interrogated the sources and tried to uncover the 
>role of sports in medieval society.  In this vein, I welcome 
>abstracts dealing with any aspect of sports in the Middle Ages. 
>Topics may include, but are certainly not limited to, literary 
>appropriations of sports, sources for understanding medieval sports, 
>philosophy of sports, cultural history of sports, reactions against 
>sports by the Church, etc.
