Call for Papers: Vagantes Graduate Medieval Conference
*******************************************
VAGANTES is an annual, travelling conference for graduate students
studying any aspect of the Middle Ages. The conference was conceived with
several goals in mind, including the fostering of a sense of community
among graduate medievalists, providing exposure to an interdisciplinary
forum, and showcasing the resources of the host institutions -- all kept
within a student budget.
The 5th conference will be hosted by the Graduate Medievalists at UC
BERKELEY from March 2-5, 2006.
Abstracts may be submitted on ANY topic dealing with the Middle Ages (such
as: vernacularity, concepts of monstrosity or alterity, politics and
language, visualization and devotion, cross-cultural or comparative
studies, historiography, etc.). Priority will be given to papers which
demonstrate cutting-edge research and contribute significantly to the
field; papers should also strive for significance to a broad medievalist
audience.
Participants will be expected to attend the entire conference.
Please send a brief CV and an abstract of no more than 300 words by Oct.
31, 2005 to:
Amelia Borrego (amelia.borrego_at_gmail.com)
Department of Comparative Literature, 4125 Dwinelle Hall
