The 25th Annual New England Medieval Studies Consortium
Graduate Student Conference
Brown University, Providence, RI
Saturday, March 1, 2008.
Abstract submission deadline has been extended to December 15, 2007.
This year’s conference will engage with the issues of form and transformation. This conference will consider what forms of knowledge, metaphysics, art, and politics circulated throughout the medieval world and will explore how those forms functioned as engines of cultural transformation and were themselves subject to transformation.
We invite graduate students from all fields to submit abstracts that address an aspect of form and transformation from Late Antiquity through the late Middle Ages. Contributors are encouraged to interpret this theme broadly. We also welcome papers addressing transformations in the critical approaches to medieval scholarship, its pedagogical traditions, and the technologies of presentation and critique.
Abstracts for a 15-20 minute paper should be e-mailed to Nora Martin Peterson at Medieval_Conference@brown.edu. Abstracts should not exceed 300 words. In addition to the abstract, please include a one-page personal statement or Curriculum Vitae, with full contact information and a tentative indication of any audiovisual equipment required for your presentation. The deadline for abstract submission is SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15th, 2007. Abstracts of accepted papers will be made available on the conference web site.
Limited accommodations may be available for students traveling long distances.
