The Medieval Studies Workshop welcomes paper proposals on the Middle Ages, Medieval Studies, and historical Medievalisms from PhD students for the 2019-20 academic year. The workshop discusses works-in-progress from scholars across the humanities, including Art History, English, Divinity, History, Music, Romance and Germanic Languages and Literatures, Linguistics, Comparative Literature, and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations.

Presenters circulate a piece of writing—a seminar paper or an excerpt from an in-progress chapter or article—a week in advance of the workshop. A respondent begins the discussion with a summary of the piece and a few opening questions. If you are interested in serving as a respondent this year, please email the co-coordinators.

If you would like to present your work-in-progress, please submit a brief proposal by email to both Jo Nixon (ejnixon@uchicago.edu) and Samantha Pellegrino (spellegrino@uchicago.edu) by Friday, September 13.

The workshop meets alternating Fridays from 12:30-2:00. Please contact either of the co-coordinators if you would like to be subscribed to our listserv.
