Call for Papers

This call for papers includes all sponsored and special sessions approved by the Program Committee for the 60th International Congress on Medieval Studies (held in a hybrid format Thursday through Saturday, May 8-10, 2025), hosted by Western Michigan University's Medieval Institute.

Sessions are listed here alphabetically by session title. The session's modality (in person, virtual, or hybrid) is listed in parentheses after the session title. Organizer email addresses are provided if the session's organizer(s) agreed that they could be displayed and are masked in the page source to reduce the chances of being harvested by spammers.

You are invited to make one paper proposal to one session of papers: that might be to one of the sponsored or special sessions, which are organized by colleagues around the world, OR to general sessions, which are organized by the Program Committee in Kalamazoo. You may propose an unlimited number of contributions to roundtables, but you will not be scheduled as a named participant in more than three sessions.

All those hoping or invited to make contributions to sessions of papers or roundtables at the Congress need to make proposals in the Confex system by the deadline of Sunday, Sept. 15. Contributions to performances and workshops are not solicited through our proposal system. Interested individuals should approach the contact person directly.

All proposals for sessions of papers (including general sessions) and roundtables are made through the Confex system, where the sessions are grouped by format.

Make a Proposal
