As part of the NWO-funded research project ‘The Multilingual Dynamics of the Literary Culture of Medieval Flanders, c. 1200- c. 1500’, we invite proposals for 20 minute papers addressing any aspect of medieval literature and literary culture. We welcome proposals from scholars at all career stages—and from all disciplinary backgrounds. We particularly encourage applications by early career researchers. To this end, younger colleagues and those without permanent positions will be eligible to apply for financial support with the costs of accommodation and travel. At the time of publishing this Call, it is our intention to hold the conference in person in Utrecht. The working language will be English. Proposals of no more than 250 words should be sent to the project team at multilingualdynamics@gmail.com by 1st April 2022.
