The theme is “Darkness and Light.” This is a hybrid event, meaning a limited number of participants may attend in-person with others participating virtually via Microsoft Teams (a Zoom-like application). For safety reasons, the DVMA meeting will follow all applicable COVID protocols. The program features three speakers followed by a visit to Glencairn Museum, located across from the Bryn Athyn College campus.

In 2002, Alan Deyermond described his relationship with Harriet Goldberg as one of admiration “for the quality of her scholarship and her range of interests.” These interests focused on popular sayings and traditions, dreams, sexual humor, and riddles. Goldberg also noted how images of societal inversion or role reversal of could be conformed to express anxieties over gender and social identity. Inspired by Harriet Goldberg’s work on Iberian traditions, this conference seeks to examine different forms of bodily transformation, to map out the limits of gender, and to think of the ways in which current discussions on gender and identity intertwine with our understanding of the past.
The keynote address will be given by Michelle Hamilton (University of Minnesota), author of Beyond Faith: Belief, Morality and Memory in a Fifteenth-Century Judeo-Iberian Manuscript. (Brill, 2014)
This event is sponsored by The Delaware Medieval Association, the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures at the University of Delaware and the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Temple University.
