This two-day conference (5th September – 6th September 2017), taking place in Trinity College, Cambridge, will explore the changing concept of memory sanctions in late antiquity and the early middle ages (c. 200 AD – 800 AD). The process of memory sanction in the Roman world has been widely studied as damnatio memoriae (literally ‘damnation of memory’), almost exclusively understood as a process of destroying and defacing images and of removing names from honorific inscriptions. By contrast, in the early middle ages the issue of memory sanctions and the destruction of images has been mainly studied through the history of Byzantine Iconoclasm, but there is no systematic study of memory sanctions in the post-Roman world, either in the east and in the west. This conference therefore aims to bring together an interdisciplinary group of scholars with different regional, chronological, and cultural focusses to bridge the gap between Roman and medieval practices of memory sanction. This will be achieved by charting out instances of conscious and intentional attempts, however conceived, to suppress memory between c. 200 AD – 800 AD.

This round table discussion brings together women academics from a range of career stages and backgrounds to discuss our foremothers. When we look up, who do we see? How does the intersection of gender, race, class, and elitism determine our perceptions of foremothers and who gets to see them? Visibility, the silencing of women, the leaky pipeline, and the shrinking pyramid of seniority are central issues facing women in the academy today; how can we be it if we can't see it? This round table addresses the issue of care in the academy, asking how stereotyping determines women's professional lives. Finally the round table questions what challenges and priorities face the younger generation today, and how we can mobilise our foremothers, historical and contemporary, to support this generation, without pulling up the ladder.
