The theme for IMC 2024 will be 'Crisis'. Hoping to repeat the success of the IMC 2023 Chinggisid Ripples sessions we invite paper proposals relating to a very broad conception of crisis relating to any period and aspect of Chinggisid rule within and across Eurasia. Here the concept of crisis is not limited to the mid-fourteenth-century upheavals affecting Chinggisid political formations. Crisis should absolutely be taken in its broadest form, including impacts of conquest and empire at any level, location or period. *We are particularly keen to involve PhD students and early career scholars*. More senior scholars are also very welcome, and we are always happy to involve external moderators and round-table participants. We also encourage applications from scholars outside of Western Europe, and they can apply for a IMC Bursary or reduced fees (see: https://www.imc.leeds.ac.uk/register/). This year, the IMC had 377 bursary applications and awarded 132 bursaries. The IMC is intended to be a hybrid event, and we welcome proposals for virtual attendance. You can find the IMC Call for Papers, with links to practical information on session submission and attendance, at https://www.imc.leeds.ac.uk/imc-2024/. Please contact Geoff Humble humblegeoff@gmail.com with proposals (of around 100 words), questions or expressions of interest. *Paper proposals must be received by 15 August 2023.* Topics of interest may include, but are not limited to: - Institutional precarity, fragility and failure - Problem-solving, durability, adaptation and opportunity - Trauma, emotion and mourning - Memory, forgetting and erasure - Community, communication and interaction - Home, migration, uprooting and exile - Food, provision, shortage, hoarding and profiteering - Agriculture and land use - Language, translation and (mis)understanding - Coping, continuity and (re-)construction - Gendered roles and their disruption - Injury, ill health, healing and recovery - Disability, infirmity and support strategies - Scapegoating, blame and condemnation - Conspiracy, plot and exposure - Slavery, kidnap and forced migration - Economic crisis and indebtedness - Political economy, taxation - Infrastructure development and decay - Inequalities, and the unequal impacts of crises - Religious and or spiritual crisis and change - Prayer and appeals for divine assistance - Narrating crisis and historiographical responses - Changing, evolving and disrupted forms of office holding - Elites, patronage and charity
