The Sewanee Medieval Colloquium is an annual, interdisciplinary conference attended by medievalists from throughout the United States. Each of our meetings is organized around a distinct theme, broad in scope, recent examples of which are “The Legacy of Antiquity in the Middle Ages,” “Medieval Perceptions of Women and Womanhood,” “Outlaws, Outcasts, Heretics,” “Power in the Middle Ages,” “The Seven Deadly Sins in the Middle Ages.” and, in 2008, “Francis, Dominic, their Orders, and their Tradition.”

Sewanee Medieval Colloquium Prize

The Sewanee Medieval Colloquium Prize was instituted in 1996 to recognize work of exceptional quality by young medievalists. It is awarded annually for the best paper presented by a graduate student or recent PhD recipient (doctorate awarded since June 2006). The prize, worth $250, will be judged by the Colloquium Committee and presented at the final plenary session of the Colloquium. Candidates for the prize should follow the normal procedure of submitting abstracts by October 1, 2008 and completed papers by February 27, 2009.
