Interested individuals should submit, no later than 15 September 2015, (1) an abstract of approximately 500 words, (2) a 500-word biography, and (3) a completed Participant Information Form (accessible at http://wmich.edu/medieval/congress/submissions/index.html#PIF) to the organizers atMedievalStudiesonScreen@gmail.com using “More Middle Ages on Screen” as their subject heading.

In planning your proposal, please be advised of the following policies of the Congress:

• All those working in the field of medieval studies, including graduate students and independent scholars and artists, are eligible to give a paper, if accepted, in any session. Enrolled undergraduate students, however, may give a paper, if accepted, only in the “Papers by Undergraduates” Special Session(s).
