CFP: New College Conference on Medieval and Renaissance Studies

*****CALL FOR PAPERS******

The seventeenth biennial New College Conference on Medieval and
Renaissance Studies will take place March 11-13 2010 in Sarasota,
Florida. The program committee invites one-page abstracts of proposed
twenty-minute papers on topics in European and Mediterranean history,
literature, art, and religion from the fourth to the seventeenth
centuries. Interdisciplinary work is particularly appropriate to the
conference’s broad historical and disciplinary scope. Planned
sessions are welcome.

The conference will be held on the campus of New College of Florida,
the honors college of the Florida state system. The college, located
on Sarasota Bay, is adjacent to the John and Mable Ringling Museum of
Art, which will offer tours arranged for conference participants.
Sarasota is noted for its beautiful public beaches, theater, art and
music. The average temperatures in March are a pleasant high of 77F
(25C) and a low of 57F (14C).

More information will be posted on the conference website as it
becomes available, including plenary speakers, conference events, and
