VAGANTES
Vagantes, an annual graduate conference affiliated with the MAA Graduate Student Committee,
is designed to foster a sense of community among medievalists in the early stages of their
careers, provide an interdisciplinary forum for the presentation of their scholarship, and
showcase the resources of host institutions. Vagantes has held seven successful conferences,
at Harvard University (2002), University of Toronto (2003), Cornell University (2004),
University of Notre Dame (2005), University of California, Berkeley (2006), Loyola University, Chicago (2007), and The Ohio State University (2008).
Vagantes 2009 is scheduled to take place at The Florida State University. With the exception
of keynote addresses, delivered by faculty, Vagantes is a student-run conference. For more
