Hosted by the Medieval Institute at Western Michigan University, the International Congress on Medieval Studies is an annual gathering of around 3,000 scholars interested in medieval studies.
The 54th International Congress on Medieval Studies takes place on the campus of Western Michigan University on May 9 to 12, 2019. The program will be available in February.
The congress features more than 550 sessions of papers, panel discussions, roundtables, workshops, demonstrations, performances, and poster sessions. There are also some 100 business meetings and receptions sponsored by learned societies, associations and institutions. The exhibits hall boasts nearly 70 exhibitors, including publishers, used book dealers and purveyors of medieval sundries. The congress lasts three and a half days, extending from Thursday morning, with sessions beginning at 10 a.m., until Sunday at noon.
Everyone attending the International Congress on Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University—including participants, exhibitors, accompanying family members and Kalamazoo residents—must register for the Congress.
The Medieval Institute encourages the use of the online registration system for clarity, expediency and convenience. Attendees may also register by post or by fax using the paper registration form. Either or both on-campus housing options may well be sold out before the close of pre-registration. Please plan accordingly.
