About Us


The Medieval Caucasus Network has for a number of years been at the forefront of building scholarly networks and facilitating communication on studies of the medieval Caucasus region. We take a broad definition of our region, methodologies, and time period, including studies of the Subcaucasus, South or Trans- Caucasus, and North Caucasus in our work, and seeking to facilitate communication across boundaries of field, approach, and nationality.

In particular we annually organise the Caucasus panels for the Leeds International Medieval Congress, and we maintain a mailing list for medievalists with an interest in Caucasus studies.

We have a group of convenors working on different parts of the medieval Caucasus region: the current convenors are John Latham-Sprinkle (University of Ghent), James Baillie (Austrian Academy of Sciences), Kate Franklin (Birkbeck, University of London), Bella Radenovic (Courtald Institute of Art), and Nick Evans (University of Leeds).
