Medieval Academy News
Affiliated with the Medieval Academy's Graduate Student Committee, Vagantes is an annual traveling conference for graduate students studying any aspect of the Middle Ages. Its goals include fostering a sense of community among junior medievalists, providing a forum for interdisciplinary scholarship, and showcasing the resources of the host institution. To make the conference available to as many graduate students as possible, expenses are kept to a minimum. There is no registration fee, and social events such as receptions and the banquet are free to participants. 11–13 March 2010. The ninth annual Vagantes Graduate Student Conference will be held at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. The conference is partially funded by the University of New Mexico Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA) Projects Committee. The conference will include twenty-four papers presented by graduate students in all areas of medieval studies. In addition, two keynote lectures are given by faculty members. The opening keynote for 2010 will be delivered by Timothy Graham, director of the Institute for Medieval Studies and Professor of History at the University of New Mexico. Call for papers: abstracts for twenty-minute papers are invited from graduate students working on any medieval topic.
