The Hagiography Society is hosting several panels in honor of Sherry Reames,
founder of the Hagiography Society and professor emerita at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison, for her past leadership of the Hagiography Society and
for her groundbreaking scholarship in the *Legenda aurea*, liturgical
calendars, and hagiographic studies. If you wish to be involved in one of
the three panels honoring Sherry for the 47th International Congress on
Medieval Studies at Kalamazoo (May 10-13, 2012), please inform Mary Morse,
Program Chair, as soon as you can. Mary and her fellow Program Committee
members Tom Liszka and Lisa Bansen-Harp will review all queries and
abstracts. One of the three sessions honoring Sherry will be a roundtable of
six to eight panelists with 7-10 minute papers. The sessions honoring Sherry
are:

I.                   In Honor of Sherry Reames I: The *Legenda Aurea* and
Its Offshoots

II.                In Honor of Sherry Reames II: Saints as Students and
Teachers

III.             In Honor of Sherry Reames III: Inspired by Sherry Reames
(Roundtable)

We also are still seeking papers for Session IV Seeing Saints in Art. Papers
could be related to a group of saints or an individual saint in church art,
private devotional art, and manuscript illuminations.


Session V Women’s Collections of Relics already has closed.
