The Delaware Valley Medieval Association (DVMA) invites 250-word abstracts for 20-minute talks or 5-minute flash presentations by graduate students in any discipline and on any topic that pertains to medieval studies. Global medieval submissions are welcome and encouraged.
The purpose of this event is to provide graduate students with an opportunity to connect with an interdisciplinary community of graduate students and professors who specialize in the Middle Ages from other universities in the region, to gain experience presenting in a conference setting, and to receive feedback on their work in a casual environment. Hence, this call for papers is intentionally open-ended: the work you present at this event could include a developing chapter in your dissertation, a completed seminar paper, a work in progress, or simply a new line of inquiry that you would like to pursue.

The DVMA would like to offer its sincere gratitude to the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries and the Princeton Index of Christian Art for their continued support of our programs.
