Now more than ever, academic organizations such as the Rocky Mountain Medieval and Renaissance Association are vital for maintaining a sense of scholarly solidarity and support. With these goals in mind, RMMRA hopes to provide a platform for constructive feedback and conversation in lieu of our annual conference.
Please join us for a “Works in Progress Workshop” digital conference to be held between October 8-11, 2020. This forum is designed to enable RMMRA members to share and gain productive feedback on any work in progress. Participants will be divided into small working groups and encouraged to exchange substantive and constructive feedback, culminating in a video chat discussion of the works shared, hosted by a RMMRA Board Member. You may submit a Medieval- or Renaissance-focused work-in-progress at any level, up to approximately 7500 words in length. We welcome pedagogy work as well as other scholarly approaches.
Please submit an abstract (200 words max), along with 3-5 descriptive keywords, by 7/20/2020. We also welcome respondents to join without submitting a paper. The final draft of your paper will be due 9/17/2020. We encourage you to include a few questions framing the stage of the project and its eventual goals so that your groupmates can target their feedback productively.
Participants must be members in good standing. Dues may be paid through Member Planet.
