Back from another great year at @imc-leeds.bsky.social! Our RELEVEN team organized 4 panels under the theme Re-evaluating the 11th Century, covering knowledge, movement, and church politics. Big thanks to everyone who joined onsite or online! (Details & pics on the next post ⬇️) #IMC2025

Our sessions included : 📌Knowledge, Authority, and Aesthetics in the Byzantine Church 📌The Circulation of Knowledge between Byzantium and Armenia 📌Moving People and the Transfer of Knowledge across the Christian World 📌The Mediterranean in the Short 11th Century So many great talks & discussions!

Final highlight: our P.I. @tla.bsky.social gave a talk in the "From Medieval Sources to Big Data" panel titled: "That's just, like, your opinion, man": Historical Consensus and Disagreement as Structured Data. (and yes, that's a Big Lebowski quote 😄)
