plasticastle Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I'm a first year M.A. student in medieval literature. I hope to apply to PhD programs in the fall, and I want to get some experience presenting at conferences. What are some good conferences for grad students? I'm looking for both medieval and interdisciplinary conferences. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rising_star Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Find the UPenn English CFP website and search for conferences on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for both medieval and interdisciplinary conferences. Thanks! Hello Plasticastle, UPenn does indeed have the best CFP (call for papers) website—it’s a great place to start. While this hasn't been officially released yet, University of Rhode Island will have its fourth annual graduate student conference on April 24, 2010. The conference is “Carried Across: Translations, Temporalities, and Trajectories.” If you decide to come, do consider contacting Kathleen Davis--our wonderful medievalist (formerly teaching at Princeton)--to try to meet her in person when you come. You'd also be rather close to Storrs CT (which, I've heard, has a strong program for medievalists as well). Look for the URI CFP to be posted shortly.

A long time ago I said that UPenn had the best CFP website, but the more I used it the less I liked it. So I built a better CFP website: CFPlist.com Check it out!

Timshel Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I think it's best to go to a graduate conference before a national one. UPenn's CFP site is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
