Welcome to the homepage of Vagantes, an annual, traveling conference for graduate students studying any aspect of the Middle Ages. The conference was conceived with several goals in mind: fostering a sense of community among junior medievalists, providing exposure to an interdisciplinary forum, and showcasing the resources of the host institutions—all hopefully within a student budget.
Vagantes was a term applied to wandering clergy and minstrels in the Middle Ages. The spirit of the wanderer (and wonderer!) is alive in our graduate student conference, which travels each year to a different university or college in North America.
Currently, you can view the call for papers and find out information about current Vagantes contributors as well as past host institutions. Additional information, including registration instructions, will be posted throughout Fall 2011.
Vagantes is co-sponsored by the Medieval Academy of America (MAA), and is affiliated with the MAA's Graduate Student Committee. Interested in joining the MAA? Visit their website and learn about the benefits and student membership rates.
You can also join our Facebook Group to meet other Vagantes members.
