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

It is awarded annually for the best paper presented by a graduate
student or recent PhD recipient (doctorate awarded since June 2006). The prize,
