The Durham University Medieval and Early Modern Student Association, MEMSA, is calling for speakers for the first term of its seminar series.  These are seminars that run fortnightly in the World Heritage Centre.  MEMSA is an interdisciplinary association with postgraduate students in the faculties of English, History, Archaeology, MFL and more attending, and as such seminars should be accessible to a non-specialist academic audience.  This makes conference papers unsuitable.  There is no theme for the series and we welcome papers on all aspects of Medieval or Early Modern research from Masters and PhD students at all stages.  Papers should be approximately twenty minutes in length, with a further ten minutes given for questions.

Please contact imrs.memsa@durham.ac.uk with any questions or to express interest.  For those interested we ask that you send a title and/or a brief, one or two line, proposal.  Seminars have usually been on a Tuesday evening but this year’s schedule is still in the works, an announcement will be forthcoming.  The deadline for applications is 15th September.

Best Wishes,
The MEMSA Exec
