CFP 2021 Annual Meeting of Medieval Academy of America (6/1/2020; Bloomington 4/15-18/2021)
In the wake of all the cancellations, some are asking us to think about the future. Here's the recent call for the Medieval Academy of America's 2021 meeting.There are at least three themes/tracks that will allow participants to make medievalisms matter: After Dante, 1321-2021, Approaching the Middle Ages with Modern Science (possibly), and Appropriation of the Middle Ages.
The call can also be accessed direct at https://www.medievalacademy.org/page/2021AnnualMeeting.
Call for Papers
The 96th Annual Meeting of the Medieval Academy of America will take place on the campus of the Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. The meeting is jointly hosted by the Medieval Academy of America and the Medieval Studies Institute of the Indiana University. The conference program will feature a diverse range of sessions highlighting innovative scholarship across the many disciplines contributing to medieval studies.
The Program Committee invites proposals for papers on all topics and in all disciplines and periods of medieval studies. Any member of the Medieval Academy may submit a paper proposal; others may submit proposals as well but must become members in order to present papers at the meeting. Special consideration will be given to individuals whose field would not normally involve membership in the Medieval Academy.
The program committee encourages medievalists of all professional standing to submit abstracts. We are particularly interested in receiving submissions from those working outside of traditional academic positions, including independent scholars , emeritus or adjunct faculty, university administrators, those working in academic-adjacent institutions (libraries, archives, museums, scholarly societies, or cultural research centers), editors and publishers, and other fellow medievalists.
Theme(s): Rather than a single overarching theme, the 2021 Program Committee has put together a set of themes (listed below), and hopes to put in conversation papers that approach each theme from diverse chronological, geographical, methodological, and disciplinary perspectives. We also welcome innovative sessions that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries or that use various disciplinary approaches to examine an individual topic. The themes listed below have been proposed by the Program Committee but the list is not meant to be exhaustive or exclusive.
Proposals: Individuals may propose to offer a paper in one of the themes below, a full panel of papers and speakers for a listed theme, a full panel of papers and speakers for a session they wish to create, or a single paper not designated for a specific theme. Sessions usually consist of three 25-minute papers, and proposals should be geared to that length, although the committee is interested in other formats as well (poster sessions, digital experiences, etc). The Program Committee may choose a different format for some sessions after the proposals have been reviewed.
Submissions:
The deadline for proposals is June 1, 2020.
Please do not send proposals directly to the session organizers.
All proposals, for individual papers, sessions, or special formats, must be submitted through the conference web portal; please see instructions at https://maa2021.indiana.edu/.
Selection Procedure: Paper and panel proposals will be reviewed for their quality, the significance of their topics, and their relevance to the conference themes. The Program Committee will evaluate proposals during the summer of 2020 and the Committee will inform all successful and unsuccessful proposers by 1 September 2020.
Information Needed for Proposal Submission:
All proposals will be submitted online, and will require the following pieces of information:
- Proposer's name (in format for the program)
- Statement of Medieval Academy membership (or statement that the individual’s specialty would not normally involve membership in the Academy)
- professional status/affiliation (in format for the program)
- email address
- postal address
- telephone number(s)
- paper title
- theme for which the paper should be considered (or "general session")
- abstract (max 250-words)
- audio-visual equipment requirements
If a full panel is being proposed, the above information will be required for each paper, as well as for the session as a whole. For alternative format session proposal submissions, also a description of the alternative format (max. 300 words).
Important Regarding Evaluation: Since all submitted proposals will undergo blind review, any identifying information inadvertently left in proposals will be removed before the review process begins. Please help us by ensuring that your abstract is free of all references to your name, your institution, and your publications.

CFP MAPACA Sponsored Sessions - Getting Medieval on Popular Culture (6/15/20; 11/5-7/20)
Getting Medieval on Popular Culture at
MAPACA 2020
Submissions by 15 June 2020
The Association for the Advancement of
Scholarship and Teaching of the Medieval in Popular Culture seeks submissions
for the following sponsored roundtable and papers sessions to be included in
the Medieval & Renaissance Area for the 2020 meeting of the Mid-Atlantic
Popular & American Culture Association to be held at the Princeton Marriott
at Forrestal, Princeton, New Jersey, from 5-7 November 2020.
The Association for the Advancement of
Scholarship and Teaching of the Medieval in Popular Culture is a community of
scholars and enthusiasts organized to promote and foster research and
discussion of representations of the medieval in post-medieval popular culture
and mass media. We share the Medieval & Renaissance Area’s commitment to expanding
the corpus of Medievalism Studies and welcome research on neglected genres and
media of modern culture.
Making
Medievalisms Matter (A Roundtable)
The goal of this session is on the
professionalism of Medievalism Studies. We seek to highlight successful
strategies for integrating popular representations of the medieval into our
academic lives. Participants would share their experiences in researching,
teaching, and (hopefully) publishing.
Medieval
Monsters Now (Papers Session)
Following two past sessions on monsters
and medievalism, the goal of this session is to explore further examples of how
medieval monsters continue to have an impact on the modern world. We are
especially interested in recent examples, but discussions of depictions from
any post-medieval era are welcome.
Nordic
Medievalisms: Vikings and Their World in Popular Culture (Papers Session)
The Vikings remain enormously popular
in modern culture and continue to elicit much discussion and debate. We seek to
continue that dialogue at MAPACA with fresh insights into their depictions in
popular culture.
Please send inquiries and paper proposals
(paper title, 300-word abstract, A/V requests and a brief academic biography)
to the organizers at medievalinpopularculture@gmail.com.
Submissions are requested by 15 June
2020.
All presenters must be members of
Mid-Atlantic Popular & American Culture Association or join for the
conference. Further details on MAPACA can be accessed at https://mapaca.net/.
The Association for the Advancement of
Scholarship and Teaching of the Medieval in Popular Culture maintains a variety
of blogs and discussion lists. Details on these activities can be found at our
blog, Making Medievalisms Matter,
accessible at https://medievalinpopularculture.blogspot.com/.

Area call can be found at https://mapaca.net/areas/medieval-renaissance.
