The New Chaucer Society will be holding its biennial meeting July 11th through 14th, 2022, at the University of Durham. The program for this event is being carried forward from the July 2020 event, cancelled due to the pandemic. Between the 2020 and 2022 events, a limited amount of space has opened up on the program, and the Program Committee of the 2022 Congress would like to make that limited space available to those who may have missed out on the initial call for papers. In a departure from our usual practice, we are therefore opening a special, targeted and time-limited call for papers to current postgraduates and those who received their postgraduate degree after September 2019.
Papers are welcome to address any topic in the study of Chaucer and medieval literature and culture, but proposers may wish to consider the following subjects particularly: the senses; embodiment; feminism; queer studies; trans studies; global medievalism and global reception of Chaucer; premodern critical race studies; Black studies; aesthetics; and temporality. (Papers on any topic will receive equal consideration.) All panellists at the NCS Congress must be current members of the New Chaucer Society. A range of different panel formats will be used at NCS 2022, so please indicate the preferred format for your presentation: lightning talk / position paper (5–8 -minute paper) or paper panel (20-minute paper). We also have a few openings in the Research Expo, which involves presenting a poster or other visual materials; we welcome submissions for this as well.
