Centre for Medieval Studies Annual Conference
Power & Patronage in the Middle Ages
University of Toronto
14-15 March 2008
Call for Papers
The Annual Conference of the Centre for Medieval Studies will take
place 14-15 March 2008 at the University of Toronto, and will explore
the role and function of medieval patronage in all its forms, from
patron-client relationships in the Late Antique Mediterranean to civic
patronage systems in Late Medieval Europe, and from networks of
economic and political power to structures of literary and artistic
production.
The keynote speaker, Richard Firth Green, Humanities Distinguished
Professor of English and the Director of the Center for Medieval &
Renaissance Studies at The Ohio State University, will give a talk on
Humphrey de Bohun and the translation of Guillaume de Palerme into
English.
The organizing committee invites proposals for topics relating to
medieval patronage in any of its forms; those proposals that cross
over traditional disciplinary boundaries are especially welcome.
Please send a 200-word abstract, a one page CV, contact information,
as well as any audio-visual requirements by 15 September 2007 to the
address below.
The Centre for Medieval Studies will be changing locations within the
university over the summer, so electronic submissions are especially
encouraged.
