In conjunction with UNC’s Medieval and Early Modern Studies [MEMS] program, we are holding two events to complement the conference program. All conference delegates arriving on Thursday are warmly invited to attend. Both events are in Hamilton Hall, which is on the main UNC campus within easy walking distance of the principal conference venue. (A campus map is to be found on the back cover of the conference pack.)
|
3:00 start
|
Michael Staunton (University College, Dublin) will lead a seminar for graduate students on the subject of medieval historical writing. Specifically, the seminar will discuss various of the issues raised by one of the chapters in Peter Raleigh’s (UNC Chapel Hill) forthcoming doctoral dissertation on historical writing in England in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Details of how this chapter will be circulated in advance will be supplied in due course. The seminar will be held in Hamilton 569.
|
| 5:30-7:00 |
Katherine Smith (University of Puget Sound) will deliver a lecture in MEMS’s Dorothy Ford Wiley Crossroad Lecture series. The title of her paper is “The Road to Babylon: The First Crusade as Moral Performance.” All those attending the conference are warmly invited to come to this lecture, which will also be held in Hamilton 569.

A gentle reminder for those giving papers:
The point of giving a talk is as much about the questions and the conversation that arise during the Q&A period, as it is about the paper itself. Because of this, you are asked to stick closely to your allotted paper-giving time of 20 minutes (or 15 minutes in some cases). A 20-minute paper is generally a 10-page, 12-point-font typescript. Please be courteous to your fellow panelists and come prepared to give a paper of the prescribed length. Panel Chairs will be instructed (with, of course, a couple of minutes' grace) to keep their panelists to time. We would all like to hear your conclusions, but will be robbed of the pleasure if you have been dragged off the podium by your Chair.
For those using A/V:
There is standard A/V provision in the Conference Room, Hyde Hall (Friday and Saturday) and Smith Room, Hampton Inn & Suites (Sunday) that meets routine conference needs – for example, the giving of PowerPoint presentations. If you have particular questions or requests, please contact Conference Director Marcus Bull.
Handouts:
You will need to bring copies of any handout with you to the conference. Eighty copies should suffice.
