58th International Congress on Medieval Studies
The International Congress on Medieval Studies, hosted by the Medieval Institute at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍøÖ±²¥, is an annual gathering of thousands of scholars interested in medieval studies. The Congress embraces the study of all aspects of the Middle Ages, extending into late antiquity and the early modern period, including—but not limited to—history, language, literature, linguistics, art, archaeology, religion, science, medicine, music, drama, philosophy, gender, sexuality, mysticism and technology, as well as medievalism. In 2023, the Congress will take place in a hybrid format for the first time, which will include traditional in-person sessions, virtual sessions via our online platform and some blended-format sessions that make it possible for speakers to present and audiences to attend both in-person and online. A selection of virtual and blended-format sessions will be recorded and posted on the Congress meeting site until May 31. Special events include the Mostly Medieval Theatre Festival and virtual behind-the-scenes visits to the Walters Art Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago.
Attendees with °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍøÖ±²¥ email addresses (ending in @wmich.edu) may attend the Congress for free!
Advance registration for the 58th Congress closes April 25. Continuing registration for those attending the Congress online is available through May 31 (when recorded sessions and other content are removed from the meeting site).
