Medieval History
It's that time of year again, for the International Congress on Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI. Just this week, thousands will descend on the university for full days of medieval talks, meetings, revelry, and all that comes with it. It appears that some of the Modern Medieval bloggers have their hands in several of the sessions throughout the conference, and I wanted to highlight them here for any and all readers who are interested. We hope to see you there!
Here are our participations:
Session 65: A Reckoning: Translation as Cultural Change and Culture Clash
Session 114: Beowulf and the Hêliand in Comparative Cultural Perspective
Session 154: Burn after Reading: Miniature Manifestos for a Post/medieval Studies (A Roundtable)
Session 503: Rethinking the Apocalypse: How the Middle Ages Approached the End of the World
Session 539: Sources of Anglo-Saxon Culture I
