Vagantes

 Call for Papers – 21st Vagantes Conference on Medieval Studies


The 21st Vagantes Conference on Medieval Studies invites abstracts from current graduate students and recently graduated Masters students from all disciplines on any topic that is related to the long Middle Ages, including those focusing on non-Eurocentric geographies and medievalism(s). We encourage proposals for papers (20 minutes) as well as lecture-performances (25 minutes).

Keynote lectures will be given by Elina Gertsman (CWRU) and Daniel Smail (Harvard University). The conference will also offer attendees an exciting array of activities including a medieval music concert, tours of the Cleveland Museum of Art’s collection, and a guided augmented-reality visit to the Red Monastery Church in Upper Egypt.

An award(s) will be given for the best paper(s)! Papers must be submitted in advance to be considered for the prize. For more information see: vagantesconference.org/conference-information-2021/paper-prize.
