A graphic has a call for papers for a session on "The Normans in 2027" for a 2027 ICMS panel sponsored by the Haskins Society. There is a photo showing the British Museum's digital projection of the Bayeux Tapestry onto the White Cliffs of Dover in 2027, overlaid on a detail from a medieval manuscript.

2027 will be the year of the Normans. Many events have been developed to celebrate this anniversary, including exhibiting the Bayeux Tapestry in London for the first time. This millennial celebration provides an ideal opportunity to evaluate the Normans. Charles Homer Haskins was foundational in what we think about the Normans. How has our understanding of the Normans changed or evolved since Haskins’ time? What has remained consistent? What new methodologies have been employed? What areas have been examined that Haskins didn’t consider?
