February 18-20, 2016 at Rice University Vagantes, North America’s largest graduate student conference for medieval studies, is seeking submissions for its 15th annual meeting at Rice University, February 18-20.
www.vagantesconference.org
Since its founding in 2002, Vagantes has nurtured a lively community of junior scholars from across the disciplines. Every conference features thirty papers on any aspect of medieval studies, allowing for exciting interdisciplinary conversation and the creation of new professional relationships between future colleagues. Vagantes travels to a new university every year, highlighting the unique resources of the host institution through keynote lectures, exhibitions, and special events. Out of consideration for graduate students’ limited budgets, Vagantes never charges a registration fee.
New this year is the availability of travel honoraria for conference speakers thanks to generous funding support from Rice University!
Graduate students are invited to submit a title and an abstract of no more than 300 words on any medieval topic along with a 1-2 page C.V. to organizers@vagantesconference.org by November 2, 2015.
