CFP: Texas Medieval Association Conference
The 20th annual Texas Medieval Association conference at SMU in Dallas (Sept
24-26, 2010) will feature two distinct types of panels. In honor of our Texas
heritage, we are calling the first type a “Roundup.” The Roundup will function
like a workshop where presenters, lead by an organizer, examine the state of a
particular question in specific areas of medieval studies [New views of medieval
Spain; new work in gender studies; new thinking about memory in the Middle Ages,
etc.] . Presenters should prepare a succinct thesis, spoken in no more than 5
minutes. These will be grouped to promote maximum interchange. These panels will
give participants a chance to collaborate in a manner not typically associated
with conference papers. Presenters should still submit abstracts to TEMA so that
they can receive (if available) institutional funding.
The sessions will be more akin to traditional conference panels. Presenters
should prepare formal papers of approximately 20 minutes duration for the panel.
Papers are welcomed on all aspects of medieval history and culture, including
medieval art, languages, literature, medievalism, music.
We will have two rounds of Roundups and two rounds of sessions, thus ensuring
that those wishing to pursue either type of conference activity have sufficient
opportunity to do so.
Early submissions are greatly welcomed, but please try to send in all session
proposals and paper abstracts (150-300 words) as soon as possible to Dr. Bonnie
Wheeler -bwheeler@smu.edu. (Also, we are happy to provide for your technological
needs - such as projectors and computers for Power Point presentations - but
please let us know about these needs as soon you can!)
Our group rate at the Doubletree Hotel in Dallas expires August 22nd, so please
make your room reservations now.
