Call for Papers
Instruction and Identity: Education in the Middle Ages
A Graduate Conference hosted by the Princeton Medieval Graduate
Colloquium
Saturday, 22 March, 2003
Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey
Keynote Speaker: Prof. Alastair J. Minnis, Department of English,
Ohio State University
Adopting a wide definition of education, this graduate conference
will explore medieval society through its variety of formal and
informal modes of learning, teaching locales and educational milieus -
from the furrow to the university, from the market to the house of
worship, from the jail to the noble court.
We encourage submissions by students working in a wide range of
disciplines (including history, literature, art history, music,
archaeology, paleography, philosophy and religion) and geographical
regions, between the fifth and fifteenth centuries. Papers on
medieval educational constructs considered alone as well as in the
light of modern pedagogical approaches to medieval studies are
welcome.
Presentation may focus on the following topics, but are not limited
to them: religious and secular education; literary and artistic
treatments of education; religious conversion and coercion;
transmission of rural wisdom; the medieval apprenticeship; cathedral
schools and universities; drama and education; inter-religious
learning; teaching and preaching; the relation between modern and
medieval pedagogical approaches.
Interested graduate students should e-mail abstracts (250 words max.)
of 15-minute presentations to [log in to unmask] by Monday, 6
January 2003. Please include your name, institutional affiliation and
preferred contact information for future communications.
