26–27 March 2010

Welcome to the Fourth Annual Longwood University Undergraduate Medieval Conference. The conference theme of "Meeting in the Middle" highlights the growing place of Longwood and Farmville as a hub of Medieval Studies. Not only have faculty and library resources been augmented of late, but Farmville itself is central to a growing web of medievalists in Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina. For that reason, we welcome back all of our friends who joined us last year, along with new attendees to a buffet of scholarship and collegial rejuvenation.

This year's papers will highlight one of the longstanding "structures" of Medieval Studies: the Long Twelfth Century. In addition, we continue to welcome still more disciplines to the conference. Thus, this year's conference will also feature music, drama, and technology. At the Friday evening reception, medieval music will be performed by the choral group Otter's Court. Saturday's events will conclude with a set of medieval mystery plays produced by Longwood students.

All of the panels (except the First Plenary Address) will be held in Room G12 of the Chichester Science Building, which is quite easily found at the corner of High and Griffin Streets in Farmville. If one is consulting maps of the college, it is the building (#15) at the northwest corner of the main campus. Parking has been reserved across Griffin Street in the Wheeler Lot for participants.

The links to the left should take you to all the information you might need concerning the conference, lodgings, directions, and such. If, however, we have managed not to cover something you are curious about, please write either of the Conference Directors, Larissa Tracy and Steven Isaac, who will respond shortly.
