Many Medieval Academy members may not be aware of CARMEN (Co-operative for the Advancement of Research through a Medieval European Network), an international initiative modeled on CARA that seeks to bring medievalists together from all over the world to discuss administrative and programmatic issues and successes. All are welcome at CARMEN’s annual meeting, taking place this year in Stirling, Scotland, 12-13 September 2014. Editor of Speculum Sarah Spence and CARA Chair James Murray will be there representing the Medieval Academy. CARMEN’s formal announcement follows:
