93rd Annual Meeting of the Medieval Academy of America, Emory University, March 1–3, 2018
The Program Committee of the Medieval Academy of America invites proposals for papers on all topics and in all disciplines and periods of medieval studies. Any member of the Medieval Academy may submit a paper proposal; others may submit proposals as well but must become members in order to present papers at the meeting. Special consideration will be given to individuals whose field would not normally involve membership in the Medieval Academy.
Please note: the prohibition against presenting a paper more than once every three years is no longer in effect.
The Medieval Academy welcomes innovative sessions that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries or that use various disciplinary approaches to examine an individual topic. To both facilitate and emphasize interdisciplinarity, the Call for Papers is organized in “themes.”
