Call for Papers for the
Vagantes Graduate Student Conference 2010
University of New Mexico
http://vagantesconference.org
In spring 2010 the medievalist graduate students of the University of
New Mexico will have
the honor of hosting the ninth annual Vagantes Medieval Graduate Student
Conference
from 11 through 13 March, 2010. (For information on the program,
transportation, and
accommodations, please visit http://vagantesconference.org.)
Vagantes is now the largest conference in North America for graduate
students studying
the Middle Ages. Vagantes aims to provide an open dialogue among junior
scholars from all
fields of medieval studies. The conference features two faculty
speakers, twenty-four
student papers, and an audience of approximately 100 people. Vagantes
emphasizes
interdisciplinary scholarship; each year, presenters from backgrounds as
varied as
Comparative Literature, Archaeology, Art History, Classics, History,
Anthropology, English,
Philosophy, Manuscript Studies, Musicology, and Religious Studies, come
together to
exchange ideas at Vagantes. In this manner Vagantes fosters a sense of
community for
junior medievalists of diverse backgrounds, and because the conference
does not have a
registration fee, this community can flourish within the margins of a
graduate student
budget.
Abstracts for twenty-minute papers are invited from graduate students
working on any
medieval topic. E-mail a brief curriculum vita and abstract of no more
than 300 words by 9
October 2009 to:
