| Abstract | In this, the third of three linked sessions on Borders beyond Borders, we aim primarily to break down the divisions between fields: Medieval and Byzantine Studies, between these and Islamic studies, and then these three and Eurasian history as a whole. Similarly, we aim to break down the borders between disciplines: history, literature, archaeology, and gender studies. This panel focuses on gender between and across borders, containing papers on the 'othering' of two female figures from the east in High German literature, on women as agents of ransoming in Medieval Toledo, and on the defence of Gangra by its Amira. |
