MAA News – 88th Annual Meeting

More than 350 Academy members attended the 88^th Annual Meeting of the Medieval Academy in Knoxville, Tennessee from 4-6 April 2013. The wide-ranging program consisted of three plenary speakers (Christopher de Hamel, Maryanne Kowaleski, and Jan Ziolkowski), 176 papers in 58 sessions, a CARA panel, and two roundtable discussions. The excursions to the CDF Haley Farm and to the Museum of Appalachia were well-attended, the receptions jovial and energetic. Our thanks to the MARCO Institute at the University of Tennessee, its director Heather Hirschfeld, and the members of the Program Committee (chaired by Jay Rubenstein) for their hard work, and to the University of Tennessee for its hospitality and generous support.  A complete report will be published in the July issue of Speculum.
