The 58th annual meeting of the Rocky Mountain Medieval and Renaissance Association will take place in Albuquerque, New Mexico, 17-19 September, 2026, hosted by the University of New Mexico’s Institute of Medieval Studies. Participation is welcome both in person and online for all events.
The RMMRA is seeking proposals on any topic relating to the period 400-1700 CE that addresses some aspect of medieval and early modern studies. We encourage proposals that are both within and across traditional disciplines, including (but not limited to) history, art, literature, architecture, art history, religious studies, history of science, politics, languages, and digital humanities. We also encourage proposals that move across or outside of the traditional academy, including (but not limited to) archival work, K-12 teaching, popular history, and other venues.
All are welcome to submit proposals until 1 June 2026.
Participants are encouraged to propose any of the following with a 100-200 word abstract:

– a work-in-progress for detailed workshop feedback;

All participants are also welcome to volunteer as readers for works-in-progress seminars, which will involve pre-reading submitted papers and offering critical feedback during the conference.
