The Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at Binghamton University is organizing its second Undergraduate Conference in Medieval Studies. The conference will take place at Binghamton University on Saturday, April 18, 2025. We welcome proposals from all undergraduate students interested in any aspect of the Middle Ages. “Medieval” here is broadly construed, including any time period between approximately 400 CE to 1600 CE. In line with current interest in a Global Middle Ages, we welcome papers on any geographic region and any topic related to the history or culture of the medieval past.
Students should plan to deliver 12-minute presentations on their own research and should be prepared to answer questions as part of a general Q&A at the end of each panel. We hope for participants from the disciplines of History, English, Art History, Classics, Music, Philosophy, Religious Studies, Archaeology, and Foreign Languages, with the intention of creating sessions that represent the true interdisciplinarity of Medieval Studies.
The proposal deadline is January 31, 2026.
Please submit your 250-word proposals through this linked form.
