Shakespeare at Kalamazoo is sponsoring two sessions at the 46th International Congress on Medieval Studies, which will be held at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, MI, May 12-15, 2011; website: http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/. We welcome individual paper proposals for a session on “Shakespeare’s Middle Ages” and a session on “_Hamlet_: Pre-Texts, Texts, and After-Texts.” Please note that the Medieval Institute has rules governing participation in the Congress (http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/policies.html) and for the submission of abstracts (http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/submissions/index.html); these must be followed.
Please send abstracts of no more than 300 words in MS Word or Rich Text Format, and the Participant Information Form, which is available on the Congress Web site, to Katy Stavreva, Department of English and Creative Writing, Cornell College, Mt. Vernon, IA 52314, e-mail: kstavreva@cornellcollege.edu, tel. 319-895-4255.
The deadline for receipt of abstracts is September 15, 2010. The final decision on the paper selection for the panels is to be submitted to the Medieval Institute by October 1, by which time you will be notified whether your submission has been accepted for presenting at the Congress.
Thank you for your attention to these various matters. The selection committee of Shakespeare at Kalamazoo is looking forward to reading your proposals.
