We welcome proposals from all undergraduate students interested in any aspect of the Middle Ages. 鈥淢edieval鈥 here is broadly construed, including any time period between approximately 400 CE to 1600 CE. In line with current interest in a Global Middle Ages, we welcome papers on any geographic region and any topic related to the history or culture of the medieval past.
Call for Papers:
Students should plan to deliver 12- to 15-minute presentations on their own research and should be prepared to answer questions as part of a general Q&A at the end of each panel. We hope for participants from the disciplines of History, English, Art History, Classics, Music, Philosophy, Religious Studies, Archaeology, and Foreign Languages, with the intention of creating sessions that represent the true interdisciplinarity of Medieval Studies.
Even though this is an undergraduate conference, we hope you will approach it in a professional manner. Focus on crafting a strong thesis, ensure your abstract is coherent , and ask your peers and professors for feedback. Your abstract will be judged not only on the caliber of your topic and ideas, but also on how well you articulate yourself.

The proposal deadline is January 31, 2025.
