The 60th International Congress on Medieval Studies will be held at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan, from May 8-10, 2024. The Dante Society of America is organizing two panel sessions:
- Dante (session ID: 5925). This is an open call for papers. The papers should engage with Dante’s work both from within the field of Dante Studies and through a multitude of interdisciplinary perspectives.
- Dante and Ovid (session ID: 6101). This is a new and exciting collaboration between the Societas Ovidiana and the Dante Society of America, and we hope you will consider presenting! The relationship between Dante and Ovid has long been acknowledged in scholarship, but further questions remain on the precise nature of the relationship between the two – especially in the light of new developments in linguistic, material, and classical reception studies. This panel invites papers which assess Dante and Ovid anew.
Please, note that this is an in-person event, which means that only those who plan to attend the Congress in person next May should submit proposals.
Paper proposals can be submitted on the official call for papers on the Congress website. You can also use this direct link: https://icms.confex.com/icms/2025/paper/papers/index.cgi?sessionid=6101.
Proposals for papers will be accepted through September 15, 2024. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to write to
