As ever, the Medieval Academy will have a strong presence at the International Congress on Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo. We hope you will join us for these sessions and special events:
1) The Friday morning plenary, sponsored by the Academy, will be delivered by Haruko Momma (New York University), “Intersectional Onomastics in Medieval Studies: Terms, Terminology, and Theories of Naming” (8:30 AM, Sangren 1910). Two related sessions organized by Prof. Momma will take place on Friday at 1:30 PM (Session 203, Sangren Hall 1910, “Intersectional Onomastics (1): Names and Race/Ethnicity/Globality”) and 3:30 PM (Session 253, Sangren Hall 1910, “Intersectional Onomastics (2): Names and Gender/Sexuality/Queerness”).
2) The Graduate Student Committee Roundtable “Publishing as a Grad Student: A Follow-Up” will take place on Saturday at 10 AM (Session 323, Sangren Hall 2730 (hybrid)). In addition, please join the Graduate Student Committee for their annual ICMS Mixer on Thursday evening from 6-7 PM in Kanley Chapel, room 1060.
3) The MAA Digital Humanities and Multimedia Studies Committee is co-sponsoring a workshop titled “Digital Pedagogies for a Medieval World: Public Digital Humanities in the Classroom” on Thursday at 10 AM (Sangren Hall 2710 (hybrid)).
4) Finally, we invite you to visit our staffed table in the exhibit hall to introduce yourself, transact any Medieval Academy business you may have, or pick up some chocolate to keep you going during those long afternoon sessions. As in the past, we will be giving away fifty free one-year memberships to new members, so spread the word!
See you at the ‘Zoo!
