ALT The Medieval and Renaissance Graduate Interdisciplinary Network (MARGIN) is pleased to announce a call for papers for the 2022 MARGIN Symposium, to be held virtually (via Zoom) on Friday, May 6th. The theme of this year’s symposium is UTOPIA. Our keynote speaker will be Dr. Karma Lochrie (Provost Professor of English, Indiana University Bloomington). We invite papers that participate in a larger discussion of utopian (and dystopian) thinking in medieval and Renaissance cultures.

We especially welcome topics with a focus on non-European or non-Western material from the fifth to seventeenth century.
