Midwest Medieval History Conference - 2013

Masters, Means & Methods: the (Liberal) Arts in the Medieval World

The 52nd Annual Midwest Medieval History Conference will take place on  the campus of Augsburg College, in Minneapolis, MN, on October 18 to 19, 2013. The theme of this year’s conference concerns the transmission of knowledge, from masters to students, from practitioners to audience. It includes the liberal arts, the fine arts, and even the practical arts. Topics might include monastic as well as university education; the trivium and quadrivium; the history of science, music, mathematics, and dialectic; art history, especially the training of artists; the education of women; and professional training in guilds.

Registration:

Conference registration is $148. The Saturday evening banquet is $45. Graduate students presenting at the conference should register using this form.
