Having spent a few minutes with the programme for the 52nd International Congress on Medieval Studies (known more familiarly as the Zoo), I've culled the Spenser and Sidney papers for easy reference below. I see there's one stray Spenser paper, which I've included in the list, and a number of Shakespeare sessions, which I have not.
