Call for Papers and Sessions
We are delighted to announce that the 45th Medieval and Renaissance Forum will take place in person on Friday, March 28 and Saturday March 29, 2025 at Keene State College in Keene, New Hampshire. This year's conference considers the Global Turn in all elements of our field—Medieval Studies, Renaissance/Early Modern Studies, Medievalism, and "Renaissance-ism." As always, we also welcome papers on any and every topic related to the Middle Ages or the Renaissance as well as papers on medievalism. We plan to hold the 45th Annual Medieval and Renaissance Forum in person with a limited number of virtual presentations.
We welcome abstracts (one page or less) from faculty, students, and independent scholars. If you are an undergraduate student, we ask that you obtain a faculty member's approval and sponsorship.
Graduate students are eligible for consideration for the South Wind Graduate Student Paper Award upon submission of their essays by March 1, 2025. The winner of the South Wind Graduate Student Paper Award will win $100 to be used for registration and/or travel expenses to the 46th Annual Medieval and Renaissance Forum (travel expenses including but not limited to transportation to and from the conference and accommodations while in Keene). The winner of the South Wind Graduate Student Paper Award will be announced at lunch on Friday, March 28, 2025.

She is also the Executive in Charge of Presentations for the International Society for the Study of Medievalism.
