Please forgive the cross-posting and distribute to anyone you think may be interested-- thanks! We still have a few openings for the following two sessions at the International Congress on Medieval Studies, 2001: "Where We Are Now: Trends and Topics in Contemporary Medieval Scholarship" (org. Anne Clark Bartlett and Richard K. Emmerson) This panel discussion seeks to highlight the status and directions of scholarly discourse in a variety of medieval disciplines. What interests us now and why and where can we go from here? Some potential topics might be disciplinary/interdisciplinary: (literatures, histories, iconography), generic (romance, drama, rhetoric, chronicle), topical (heresy, mysticism, ideologies, East/West dialogues, present/past dialogues), and/or theoretical (theorizing emotion, apophasis, sexuality, identities)... other ideas are also welcome! and/or "Where We Are Now: Professional Issues in Medieval Studies Today" (org. Anne Clark Bartlett and Richard K. Emmerson) This panel discussion seeks 10 minute position papers on any aspect of being a medievalist at the present time. Some potential topics for consideration might include: things we wish we'd known when we started grad studies or a first job, being the only medievalist in a department (even an institution), coalition-building, contemporary medievalisms, suggestions for improving academic conferences, publishing issues (in print and on-line), current trends and concerns in medieval studies.... other thoughts and ideas welcome too! Please send submissions to me at the e-mail, fax, or snail-mail addresses below. Thanks!
