Medieval Graduate Conference 2012
We are looking forward to another stimulating and convivial Oxford Medieval Graduate Conference, this year on the theme of 'Meat'. As in previous years, the Conference, for graduates and run by graduates, will be supported by the Society for the Study of Medieval Languages and Literature. It will, as usual, take place at Lincoln College, Oxford; the dates will be on 13-14th April, 2012.
The event will include a wide range of papers, considering what to eat and what not to eat, how to eat and how to celebrate eating. The Conference will also include a Society lecture on the topic of the conference; the lecturer in 2012 will be Dr Naomi Sykes, zooarchaeologist at the University of Nottingham. The finalised programme for the conference is now available to download.
The Medieval Graduate Conference is now entering its eighth year. It is aimed at early career scholars and graduate students. Further information about the conference is provided on this website and at the archive website.
