There are several fantastic events in Medieval and Early Modern Studies coming up this month. Here are notices on just a couple:
Later this week, BABEL collects in Toronto for its 4th Biennial meeting. The meeting is October 9-11. This year the theme is “Off the Books: Making, Breaking, Binding, Burning, Leaving, Gathering.”
Just a few days later at the other end of the continent, The Huntington Library is hosting the fantastically titled “The Provocative Fifteenth Century.” (October 15-17).
Finally, on October 30 The Medieval and Early Modern Institute of The George Washington University is holding its first (of a yearly series, hopefully) “Futures of the Past” symposium.
Also, in the middle of the continent:
