VAGANTES: Second Annual Graduate Student Conference on the Middle Ages
University of Toronto, March 20-23, 2003
The graduate medievalists of the University of Toronto, Harvard
University, and Cornell University are pleased to announce the second
annual Vagantes conference, organized by and for graduate students
pursuing research on any medieval topic. We welcome submissions from all
disciplines including those dealing with topics outside the Latin West.
Please keep in mind that although papers and abstracts should demonstrate
originality and mastery of their specific topic, they should also
demonstrate an understanding of the audience, which will be largely made
up of graduate students who study the Middle Ages from a very wide range
of disciplines.
VAGANTES is an annual, travelling conference for graduate students
studying any aspect of the Middle Ages. The first highly successful
conference took place at Harvard University; after Toronto, the conference
moves to Cornell University in 2004. The conference was conceived with
several goals in mind, including the fostering of a sense of community
among junior medievalists, providing exposure to an interdisciplinary
forum, and showcasing the resources of the host institutions -- all within
a student budget. For ongoing updates see:

250-word abstracts are DUE BY OCTOBER 1, 2002.
