The Thirty-Sixth Annual Meeting of the Southeastern Medieval Association
will take place November 18-20, 2010, at the Hotel Roanoke
in Roanoke, VA, located in the southwest corner of Virginia in the picturesque Shenandoah Valley.
Because this year’s conference coincides with the 75th anniversary of
the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, we have selected “Natural,
Unnatural, & Supernatural” as the conference theme.
Plenary
speakers will be Prof. Lawrence Nees (University of Delaware, Art History)
and Paul E. Szarmach (Executive Director, Medieval Academy of America).
We welcome papers and panels dealing with all aspects of the Middle Ages,
but we particularly encourage those examining elements of the natural,
unnatural, and supernatural in the medieval world. As it does every year, the
SEMA annual conference encourages submissions from all branches of medieval
studies, including but not limited to history, art, science, philosophy,
theology, archaeology, paleography, language, and literatures.
Proposals for entire sessions and for interdisciplinary presentations are
strongly encouraged, although individual paper proposals are welcome as well.
Offers to serve as session moderators are also welcome. Emailed
submissions are much preferred.
Deadline is June 1,2010.
Papers should be no more than 20 minutes in length. Individual paper
proposals and full session proposals are both welcome. Sessions should consist
of no more than 3 presenters and 1 moderator/ commenter. Email submissions are
much preferred.
Paper proposals should be 250 words and must include full
contact information (title, email, mailing address). Please also be sure to
note if you will need A/V equipment.
Session proposals should be 250-300 words and must include
the intended format of the session (formal papers, roundtable, etc.), full
contact information for all participants (title, email, mailing address), and
titles of individual presentations. Please also be sure to note if anyone will
need A/V equipment.
DEADLINE IS JUNE 1, 2010.
