Today was the second day of the Restructuring Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages workshop (cf https://twitter.com/SaraLUckelman/status/1008982870780674048 …) and I had More Thoughts (entirely unrelated to yesterday's thoughts).

Doctor Logic added,
At the end of the morning we were talking about ways to move forward that would keep open the interdisciplinary conversation going -- interdisciplinary in that we had people from many different disciplines in the room.
History, archaeology, classics, languages, philosophy -- we came together with a shared interest in time-period, and for such a disparate group we did manage to talk to each other quite well.
But nevertheless, there are a lot of disciplinary norms that you don't get unless you are being trained in that discipline, e.g., how to read a archaeological site report, how to read different types of texts, etc.
An idea occurred to me that a really interesting topic for a joint conference/workshop/put people in the same room and make them talk would be **Evidence**.
1. What counts as evidence in your discipline? 2. What kinds of questions can you answer with this evidence? 3. How can the evidence answer these questions?
These are the sorts of meta-methodological questions I'm often asking in philosophical contexts -- in fact, quite a lot of my beef with mainstream academic philosophy is that it doesn't even acknowledge that these are questions that need to be answered.
But as someone who also spends quite a bit of her time (both academic and otherwise) in the Middle Ages, I'd love to know how people in other disciplines would answer these questions.
So now I want to organise something where people come to me and I can listen to them talk about their answers to these questions. If this would also interest you, leave a reply and if plans come to fruition, I'll get in touch in the coming months!
this sounds like an amazing idea, I hope you get a lot of responses on this
