Graduate Student Conference
Call for Papers
10-11 June 2005

The Center for Renaissance Studies is planning its annual Graduate Student Conference for 10-11 June 2005. The conference is interdisciplinary in scope and papers are invited in any area of medieval or Renaissance studies. The conference is organized and run by graduate students. It provides participants with the opportunity to present their work in a collegial scholarly forum, to meet with students from other institutions and disciplines who will become their future colleagues, and to become familiar with the Newberry Library and its resources.

Those interested in participating should submit a c.v. and two-page abstract by 1 March 2005.

Papers will be selected by an interdisciplinary committee of consortium graduate students. Only one abstract from each author will be considered; submission of an abstract will be considered an agreement by the author to attend the conference if the paper is accepted.

Papers which are accepted should be no more than 20 minutes in length and submitted by 1 May 2005.

Abstracts and c.v.s should be sent to:
Graduate Student Conference
The Center for Renaissance Studies
The Newberry Library
60 W. Walton St.
Chicago IL 60610-7324

Funds are available for Center for Renaissance Studies consortium graduate students to defray the costs of travel and lodging while participating in the conference.
