The broadest interpretation of the term 'model' will be welcomed. In particular, the conference seeks to stimulate discussion about the convergences/divergences between different types of models separated by time, function or application. Some issues that might be addressed are: * How models are constituted and the forms they can take * Comparing/contrasting models of gendered practices as they emerge from various sources: literature, visual arts, documents, material remains etc. * How modern models affect our perception of medieval gender * How different disciplines have modelled gender differently The Gender and Medieval Studies (GMS) Group is a UK-based organisation devoted solely to putting together an annual interdisciplinary conference which furthers the study of medieval gender. The conference provides a unique forum for researchers to present their work to an audience receptive to the impact of gender, sexuality and sexual orientation on the study of medieval culture.
