A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us last week in Durham for the 2025 Vagantes Conference on Medieval Studies! Congratulations to all of our speakers and the organizers at both UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke.
If you have photos from the event you’d like to share, or if you’d like to browse those that others took, please write to vagantesboard@gmail.com to request access to the shared photo drive.
If you submitted for the Paper Prize, remember that you must email a full draft of your paper by April 12th at 5:00pm ET to be considered. See the full guidelines here.
We look forward to seeing everyone again for Vagantes 2026 at the University of Rochester (April 9-11, 2026)! In the meantime, keep an eye out for our year-round opportunities, including a Vagantes meetup at Kalamazoo and various professionalization events. Be sure you are following us on social media (including our new BlueSky and Instagram accounts!) for updates: @vagantesmed.bsky.social on Bluesky; @vagantesmed on Instagram; Vagantes Conference on Medieval Studies on Facebook; @vagantesmed on Twitter.
If you enjoyed the conference and would like to get involved, look out for two announcements in late spring or early summer: applications to fill open board positions, and the call to host Vagantes 2027!
