With the achievement of our Activities at the 2019 International Congress on Medieval Studies (ICMS), described in our 2019 Congress Report, we prepare for the 2020 Congress. With the conclusion of the Call for Papers on 15 September 2019 for our sponsored and co-sponsored Sessions, we work to assign the Programs for our 5 sponsored and co-sponsored Sessions. Meanwhile, we describe their aims. Soon, when appropriate, we will announce the Programs for the Sessions and publish the Abstracts for their Papers and Responses.
Our events at the Congress, as always, are designed to represent, to explore, to promote, to celebrate, and to advance aspects of our shared range of interests, fields of study, subject matter, and collaboration between younger and established scholars, teachers, and others, in multiple centers.
[Update: Following the close of the CFP, all our sessions are filled. Moreover, the strong response for our Session “Seal the Real” has led to permission for that session to have 2 Parts, I and II.]
Again we co-sponsor Sessions with the Societas Magica (2 Sessions this year). It will be the 16th year of this co-sponsorship.
Also, like the 2015–2019 Congresses, we plan for
- an Open Business Meeting and
- a Reception.
Again, like the 2016–2018 Congresses, we co-sponsor a Reception with the Index of Medieval Art at Princeton University (formerly the Index of Christian Art).
As usual, we aim to publish the Program for the accepted Papers, once the Call For Papers has completed its specified span. We will publish the Abstracts for these Papers as the preparations for the Congress advance and as their Authors permit. Abstracts for previous Congresses appear in our Congress Abstracts, Indexed both by Year and by Author.
