Building upon the successful completion of our activities at the 2022 ICMS (see our 2022 International Congress on Medieval Studies Program), we announce our Activities for the 2023 International Congress on Medieval Studies, following our Preparations for them, with the completion of the Call for Papers (15 September 2022) and the selection and submission of the Programs for our Sessions (by 15 October 2022).
With the turn of the calendar year toward the year of the Congress, we published the selected Programs for our Sessions and announced our other Activities, while we awaited the promulgation of the official Schedule for the 2023 Congress as a whole. With the publication of a Sneek Peak for the Congress Program, we can add the times and venues for our Sessions.
This year, with some Sessions on line and some in person in a transitional ICMS, we prepare six Sessions, an Open Business Meeting, and a Reception. Our co-sponsors:
- Societas Magica: 2 Sessions and the Reception
- Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies (SIMS): 2 Sessions
- Polytheism-Oriented Medievalists of North America (P.-O.M.o.N.A.): 1 Session
- Index of Medieval Art at Princeton University: Reception
This year marks Year 19 of our co-sponsorship with the Societas Magica; the second (non-consecutive) year of co-sponsorship with POMONA, the third of co-sponsorship with the Index of Medieval Art, and the first year of co-sponsorship with SIMS.
As always, we thank the host, organizers, co-sponsors, presiders, speakers, respondents, and participants for our activities at the Congress.
