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.
|
TBA start
|
Charity Urbanski (University of Washington) will lead a seminar for graduate students on aspects of her recent research into medieval historiographical culture. Graduate students from beyond UNC who are attending the conference are warmly encouraged to participate. Details of the material that will be circulated in advance of the seminar will be supplied in due course. Details of the precise venue and time will also be supplied as soon as possible. |
| 5:30-7:00 |
Dr. Urbanski will deliver a lecture in MEMS’s Dorothy Ford Wiley Crossroads Lecture series. The title of her paper is “Monsters in Anglo-Norman Historiography”. All those attending the conference are very warmly invited to come to this lecture, which will 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.
