Workshop: Heterarchies and Power Dynamics in Post-Roman Europe (4th -10th century AD)
Date: 05.-07.11.2025
Location: University of Bonn 
Application Deadline: 04.05.2025

This workshop seeks contributions that examine the role of heterarchies—defined as multi-ranked community systems—in the social, political, and economic transformations of post-Roman Europe. We are particularly interested in analyzing the diverse and nonlinear processes that influenced the transition from antiquity to the medieval world, focusing on how heterarchical frameworks can reveal the significance of overlooked or marginalized groups in societal transformation. The event aims to promote interdisciplinary discussions on power dynamics beyond traditional hierarchical models, incorporating perspectives from archaeology, history, anthropology, and related disciplines.

Submission Guidelines
We welcome abstracts (max. 300 words) for 20-minute presentations incorporating the concept of heterarchy in practical case studies. Please include your name, affiliation, and a short bio (max. 100 words). Submissions should be sent to heterarchies@uni-bonn.de by 04.05.2025. Acceptance notifications will be provided by 31.05.2025.

Accommodation in Bonn is provided (2 nights; 5th-7th November).
