CALL FOR ICMA SPONSORED SESSION PROPOSALS

ICMA @ St. Louis Annual Symposium on Medieval and Renaissance Studies, 2016

The International Center of Medieval Art (ICMA) seeks proposals for sessions to be held under the organization’s sponsorship in 2016 at the St. Louis Annual Symposium on Medieval and Renaissance Studies to be held 20-22 June 2016 in St. Louis. The symposium promotes serious scholarly investigation on all topics and in all disciplines of the medieval and early modern worlds.

Session organizers and speakers must be ICMA members. Proposals for ICMA sponsorship should consist of a title, an abstract, a CV of the organizer, all in one single DOC or PDF file with the organizer’s name in the title.  Thanks to a generous grant from the Kress Foundation, funds may be available to defray travel costs of sponsored session speakers. For more information, seehttp://www.medievalart.org/kress-travel-grant/

Please direct all session proposals for ICMA sponsorship by 10 December 2015 to the Chair of the Programs & Lectures Committee, Janis Elliott, Texas Tech University.  Email:janis.elliott@ttu.edu

ICMA will notify the organizers of sessions selected for sponsorship by around 21 December, after which the organizers must submit their proposals directly to the St Louis Symposium on Medieval and Renaissance Studies by 31 December 2015.  For more information on the St Louis Symposium, go to:   http://smrs.slu.edu/ .
