Gender and Medieval Studies Conference

The 2009 Gender and Medieval Studies conference will be held at King's
College London, January 9-10 2009, and follow the theme of 'Locating
Gender'.

This conference aims to explore conceptions of location, temporality,
geography, belonging, and association in relation to the study of
medieval genders and sexualities, and we invite proposals (max. 250
words) for twenty-minute papers from all disciplines and
inter-disciplines within Medieval Studies.

GMS welcomes proposals for Locating Gender from all medievalists,
including postgraduate students and early career researchers. Some
financial support for postgraduates? travel costs is available through
the Kate Westoby fund: if funds permit, applications for support will
also be considered from unwaged independent scholars. Please forward
abstracts to locating.gender@gmail.com by 1 September 2008.
