The MEMS Festival is a friendly and interdisciplinary celebration of medieval and early modern research. Since 2015, this event continues to bring together students and academics alike from across the globe to share their work. Click here to see the programmes for previous conferences.
From its inception, our conference has had no theme other than its focus on interdisciplinary research between the years 400 and 1800. We encourage a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, history, politics, theology, economics, art history, drama, literature, latin, vernacular languages, liturgy, architecture, archaeology, and performance culture. We always aim to create an informal and inclusive space in which postgraduate students, early career researchers, and academics can share their ideas and build a greater sense of community, which is especially important to us during the ongoing pandemic. Undergraduates in their final year of study are very welcome too.
If you are interested, then please refer to the attached Call for Papers document for further details.
