Abstract	Medieval communities were energised to reform and remain watchful by bodies of thought which encouraged anticipation of judgement. These international sessions bring together scholars working on eschatology, apocalypse and prophecy in the early Middle Ages to develop new paradigms for understanding the relationship between judgement and reform. Session II explores comparisons between eschatology and ecclesiastical reform in Ireland, Anglo-Saxon England, and the Carolingian Empire.
