The 2004 Graduate
Student Conference This conference is made possible through the funding of the Newberry Library Center for Renaissance Studies Consortium. Organized and run by graduate students, the conference is interdisciplinary in scope; papers are invited in any area of medieval or Renaissance studies. It provides participants the opportunity to present their work in a collegial scholarly forum, to meet students from other institutions and disciplines who will be their future colleagues, and to become familiar with the Newberry Library and its resources. Those interested in participating should submit a c.v. and two-page abstract by 1 March 2004. Papers will be selected by an interdisciplinary committee
of consortium graduate students. Only one abstract from each author will
be considered; submission of an abstract will be considered an agreement
by the author to attend the conference if the paper is accepted. Papers
which are accepted should be no more than 20 minutes in length and must
be submitted by 3 May 2004.
The Midwest Modern Language Association The annual meeting will be held this fall (4-7 November 2004) at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in St. Louis. The M/MLA convention invites papers and panels from faculty and graduate students in departments of languages and literatures in the midwest, and also offers a series of professionalizing workshops. The 2004 program also features a cluster of special events related to this year’s informal theme, “Performance.” In addition, the returning book exhibit is now organized around the publishing success of members, which the M/MLA will be pleased to celebrate on your department’s behalf. The M/MLA wants to do more for senior scholars looking to share funded research, for junior faculty preparing convention papers as they approach tenure, and for graduate students finding their voices and anticipating the job market in times no longer flush. Please check the M/MLA’s website at www.uiowa.edu/~mmla for further information, particularly what session organizers will need to submit by March 1.
