International Congress on Medieval Studies, May 10-15, 2021 – Virtual

Posted on by

The North American Branch of the Christine de Pizan Society is sponsoring two sessions and the society’s Annual Business Meeting during the International Congress on Medieval Studies (Kalamazoo) to be held virtually on Zoom, May 10-15, 2021. Online registration opens in March and extends until Saturday, May 29. Registration fees are listed on page iv of the Congress Program. The 2022 Congress will also be virtual (May 9-14) and the organizers hope to return to an in-person congress in 2023. They are looking for our input to create “a new model format” for the Congress. (See page iii of the Congress Program.)

Please remember that all times are Eastern (United States) Daylight Time (EDT). We look forward to seeing you online for these events:
