The Medieval Institute
College of Arts and Sciences
Dear Colleague:
Ma fn est mon commencement . . ., as every medievalist knows, is the text of one of Guillaume de
Machauts most famous rondeaux, and Ive chosen it as the motto for this years Call for Papers. I do
so only partly because we have reached an important opus number in a series that began in 1962, and,
like university commencements, we repeat because of the symbolic and real importance of community
and continuity. It is well to remember this year of all years that we stand in a long line and upon many
shoulders in our work as scholars. And ma fn is literally true for me, as I step down as Director of the
Medieval Institute in 2015 to resume my work as teacher, writer, and researcher.
The 2014 International Congress drew very close to 3,000 medievalists once again to Kalamazoo, among
whom were nearly three hundred newcomers. While we strive to be responsive, open, and welcoming,
as is our tradition, we continue to face hard decisions about numbers of sessions. For 2015 we largely
followed the precedent we set last year in allowing most sponsoring organizations no more than four
sessions. That being said, we still look forward to an event that will offer nearly 580 numbered sessions,
two plenary addresses, and dozens of receptions, lunches, and business meetings. And last, but by no
means least, there will be the hallway conversations, the chance meetings with publishers, the brainstorm-
ing until dawn, and the Pseudo Society, which do so much to recharge and rededicate us to our disciplines.
Once again, there will be no place like Kalamazoo for medieval studies May 1417, 2015. But it is
time to set to work. This Call for Papers shows that planning for next year is already well advanced,
requiring your immediate attention if you plan to deliver a paper. Many session organizers begin recruit-
ing potential participants as early as the previous Congress, and as a result sessions may become fully
subscribed at any time before the 15 September deadline for paper proposals. Thus if you are interested
in giving a paper, we encourage early submissions addressed to the contact person for a Sponsored or
Special Session or to the Congress Committee for a General Session.
The Radisson Plaza hotel continues to be our downtown anchor this year. We have fnalized our two
plenary speakers for Friday and Saturday; they are Professor Cary J. Nederman of Texas A&M Univer-
sity, and Professor Richard Utz of the Georgia Institute of Technology. We are grateful to the Medieval
Academy of America for its continued sponsorship of the Friday plenary.
Please remember our travel awards, which include one supported by the Otto Grndler Memorial Fund
and this year for the frst time the Edwards Memorial Travel Award. Address any and all questions about
the Congress to the Medieval Institute via voice, FAX, snail mail, or email. The latest news and updates
are to be found on the Congress website.
Spring will come again to Western Michigan and with it the 50th International Congress on Medieval
Studies. Please come and join us.
James M. Murray
Professor of History and Medieval Studies
Director, The Medieval Institute

Some Congress Policies
Congress Papers
All Congress papers are expected to present unpublished original research never before offered at a
national or international conference.
Paper Presenter Eligibility
All those working in the feld of medieval studies, including graduate students and independent scholars
and artists, are eligible to give a paper, if accepted, in any session. Enrolled undergraduate students,
however, may give a paper, if accepted, only in the Papers by Undergraduates Special Session(s).
Presider Eligibility
No participant may preside and give a paper in the same session.
Respondent Eligibility
No participant may give a paper and serve as a respondent in the same session.
Agreement to Deliver Papers in Person
Submission of a paper proposal is considered agreement by the author to attend the Congress and to
deliver the paper in person if it is accepted. It is a matter of Congress policy that papers are not read in
absentia.
One Paper per Participant
The Congress Committee will schedule only one paper per participant, with the exception of plenary
lecturers and those giving papers in the Saturday evening Pseudo Society session, who may give two
papers.
Three Appearances per Participant
The Congress Committee will schedule each participant as paper presenter, panelist, discussant,
workshop leader, demonstration participant, poster presenter, presider, or respondent for a maximum
of three sessions. Organizers may organize as many sessions as the committee approves.
Eight Participants per Session
With the exception of readers theater and other performances, the Congress Committee will schedule a
maximum of eight participants in a session, a presider (or presiders) and seven others (with allowance
made for co-authored contributions).
Multiple Submissions
The Congress Committee strongly discourages multiple submissions and obliges participants to inform
organizers when they submit paper proposals to more than one session. The committee reserves the right
to disallow all participation to those who breach professional courtesy by multiple submissions.
Rejected Paper Proposals
Organizers of Sponsored and Special Sessions are obliged to forward unused abstracts, together with
their Participant Information Forms, to the Medieval Institute by October 1 so that the papers can be
considered for General Sessions.
ii
The Congress: How It Works
The Academic Program
The core of the Congress is the academic program, which exists in three broad types of sessions:
Sponsored Sessions are organized by learned societies, associations, or institutions. The organizers set
predetermined topics, often narrowly focused and refecting the considered aims and interests of the
organizing group.
Special Sessions are organized by individual scholars or ad hoc groups. The organizers set predeter-
mined topics, which are often narrowly focused.
General Sessions are organized by the Congress Committee at the Medieval Institute. Papers considered
for inclusion in General Sessions comprise (A) those proposed directly to the committee by the Septem-
ber 15 deadline and (B) paper proposals forwarded to the Medieval Institute by organizers of Sponsored
and Special Sessions who were unable to include the papers in their sessions. Topics include all areas
of medieval studies, with individual session topics determined by the topics of abstracts submitted
and accepted.
Your Action
If you want to give a paper: Consult the Call for Papers and determine whether a Sponsored or a
Special Session may be hospitable to a proposal. Send a paper proposal (a one-page abstract and a
completed Participant Information Form) to the contact person as soon as you can, but no later than
September 15 OR submit your proposal directly to the Congress Committee (The Medieval Institute,
Western Michigan University, 1903 W. Michigan Avenue, Kalamazoo, MI 49008-5432;
medieval-institute@wmich.edu) for consideration for inclusion in a General Session.
If you are organizing a session or sessions: By September 15, you should have received all paper pro-
posals for your session(s). By October 1 you must make your initial submission of session details online
through Western Michigan Universitys Digital Commons (ScholarWorks at WMU) powered by bepress
(The Berkeley Electronic Press). Alternatively, you may submit details using the Session Organizer
Form by contacting the Medieval Institute at medieval-institute@wmich.edu. Any scheduling request
must be included in this submission.
Timing, Efciency, Fairness
Planning for the following years sessions, including the lining up of potential contributors, is often
undertaken during the Congress as participants interact and exchange ideas. The effcient organizer
generally tries to line up speakers as soon as possible. The organizer or the person proposing a paper
who waits until the last minute may be very disappointed, failing to fll a session or to place a paper,
respectively.

v
Audio-Visual Equipment
Audio-visual equipment for Congress sessions is requested on the Participant Information Form at
the time a paper abstract is submitted for consideration or one agrees to participate in a panel discussion,
roundtable, workshop, demonstration, or performance (on or before September 15). Late equipment
requests can rarely be accommodated. The form is available on the Congress website.
Data Projectors. The data projectors used in Congress meeting rooms, when requested, have VGA
connections and support 640 x 480 (VGA), 800 x 600 (SVGA), 1024 x 768 (XGA), and 1280 x 1024
(SXGA) resolutions. Some also have HDMI cables. We encourage you to test your laptop with a
projector using a VGA or HDMI (if you specifcally requested HDMI) connection before coming
to the Congress. If a data projector is requested, a screen will be provided.
Most Mac users and any laptop user without a VGA or HDMI terminal will need to bring an adapter for
the VGA or HDMI connection (the latter only if an HDMI cable was particularly requested). All laptop
users will need to bring power cords. Most of those coming from outside North America will need a plug
adapter (although probably not a converter, since most laptops are designed to work with a wide range of
voltage and frequency). Electrical current in the United States is 120 volts/60 Hz.
Please note that computers are not provided for Congress presentations. Speakers who wish to make
presentations involving a computer are expected to bring their own laptops or to arrange with the
sessions organizer or another colleague for the use of a computer.
Internet Access. Access to the Internet during the Congress, including in meeting rooms, is through
WMUs wireless network. Those planning to use the Internet during their presentations will need to
establish a User ID in WMUs wireless system in advance of the session by following the instructions
contained in their Congress registration packets.
Other Equipment. Slide projectors (35 mm), document cameras, DVD players, Blu-ray players, VHS
players, audio CD and cassette players, and whiteboards are also available.
Catering on Campus
Catered events on the WMU campus during the Congress can be arranged by completing the Meeting/
Reception Reservation Form, which is available on the Congress website beginning in July. The
deadline is October 1.
Food and beverages (including, but not limited to, alcoholic beverages) consumed at Congress events
on the WMU campus must be provided by WMU Catering, Fetzer Center Catering, or the Medieval
Institute. Food and beverages purchased from outside vendors may not be brought into Congress
meeting rooms in the Goldsworth Valley dormitories, the Bernhard Center, or the Fetzer Center at any
time. Should food or drink purchased outside of the Fetzer Center be brought into the Fetzer Center,
it will be confscated and left at the front desk for pick up upon departure from the building.
vi
Medieval Originality
The Medieval Institute is co-sponsoring a series of sessions at the 50th International Congress on
Medieval Studies that will mark the origins of the Congress in the 1962 conference on medieval studies
hosted by Western Michigan University. The Material Collective provided the stimulus for this scheme,
and the Collective is playing a leading role in the shaping of the program. The panel discussion takes its
theme from the title of the conference, Medieval Originality, and the six roundtables bear the titles of
the sections (as sessions were then called) of the conference.
Panel Discussion

co-sponsored by the Medieval Institute and the Material Collective
5:30 p.m., Friday, May 15
