Vagantes is the largest graduate student conference for medieval studies in North America.

Conference Dates: February 18-20, 2016

Since its founding in 2002, Vagantes has nurtured a lively community of junior scholars from across the disciplines. Every conference features thirty papers on varied topics, allowing for exciting interdisciplinary conversation and the creation of new professional relationships between future colleagues. Vagantes travels to a new university every year, highlighting the unique resources of the host institution through keynote lectures, exhibitions, and special events. Out of consideration for graduate students' limited budgets, Vagantes never charges a registration fee.

In 2016, Vagantes will be hosted by Rice University in Houston, TX.

The 15th annual conference is sponsored in part by the Departments of Art History (Brown Foundation); English; History; Medieval and Early Modern Studies; Religion; the Rice School of Architecture; the Shepherd School of Music; the Humanities Research Center; the Woodson Research Center; the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies; the Center for Teaching Excellence; the Graduate Student Association; the Menil Collection; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and the Medieval Academy of America.
