This year’s theme is Language and Communication in the Middle Ages.

We encourage submission of papers that have been submitted and/or delivered elsewhere. The deadline for submission is November 1st, 2009.

Our Keynote speaker will be Dr. Anne D. Hedeman, University of Illinois, Urbana, who will speak on “Presenting the Past: Visual Translation in Thirteenth- to Fifteenth-Century France.”

A second address has been added to the schedule. Dr. Bill Paden, Professor of French at Northwestern, will present “Latin and Vernacular, Love and Marriage in the Medieval South of France.”
