-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: Vagantes 2011 at University of Pittsburgh Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2010 10:04:08 -0400 From: Melanie Hackney <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: PERFORM - Medieval Performing Arts <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Call for Papers for the Vagantes Medieval Graduate Student Conference March 3–5, 2011 University of Pittsburgh http://vagantesconference.org Vagantes is one of the largest conferences 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. 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. 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 vitae and abstract of no more than 300 words by 25 October 2010 to: Karen Adams [log in to unmask] Department of French and Italian University of Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, PA This conference is affiliated with the Medieval Academy of America. -- Abigail Ann Young (Dr), Associate Editor/ Records of Early English Drama/ 170 St George St Ste. 810/ Toronto Ontario Canada/ M5R 2M8 Telephone: 416-978-6500 (after 04/01/2010) / FAX: 416-978-6504 (as of 16/12/2009) [log in to unmask] List-owner of REED-L <http://www.reed.utoronto.ca/reed-l.html> http://www.reed.utoronto.ca/ => REED's home page http://www.reed.utoronto.ca/stage.html => our Web guide http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~young => my home page
