The Standing Committee on Medieval Studies and the Committee on Degrees in History and Literature invite contributions from Harvard College students of papers (fifteen to twenty minutes) in length in any discipline, dealing with any medieval or early modern topic. We particularly welcome papers that push against traditional boundaries in medieval and early modern studies, exploring themes such as cultural exchange and empire, as well ones that address modern imaginings and appropriations of the deeper past. Please submit the proposal form, along with a short abstract of 100-150 words, to memsymposium2019@gmail.com (subject line: paper proposal) by Friday, 12 April. A final list of participants, along with panel assignments, will be announced by Friday, 19 April.
