We are delighted to share the Call for Papers for the 26th annual Vagantes Conference on Medieval Studies, to be held at Stanford University, March 18-20, 2027!
Vagantes is an interdisciplinary community of junior and early career scholars that offers opportunities for mentorship, collaboration, and sharing research. The conference accepts submissions from current graduate students and recently graduated Master’s students on any topic pertaining to the long Middle Ages. We encourage submissions from scholars across all disciplines that engage with medieval studies and welcome work that explores medieval culture, religion, philosophy, literature, art, historiography, as well as medievalisms and reception studies.
This year, we are particularly (though not exclusively)Â interested in papers involving:
- Jewish Studies
- Nordic Studies
- Medieval France
- Digital Humanities
- Music and Performance
To apply, please send one PDF that includes a paper title, an abstract of 300 words, and a 1-2 page CV (with applicant’s preferred name and pronouns) to vagantesboard@gmail.com by Friday, 13 December 2026.
We encourage you to submit and invite you to share this CfP widely with your peers, colleagues, and students.
