ANZAMEMS Seminar: Documenting Medieval and Early Modern Women

Dear members, we are pleased to announce the next ANZAMEMS seminar, to be hosted at University of Auckland from 17-18 July.

This two-day workshop will introduce postgraduate and ECRs from across Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia to a range of medieval and early modern sources centred on the female body and female experience. Leading experts will guide participants through unique and challenging genres, from sixth-century Frankish hagiographies and twelfth-century Latin love letters to early modern recipes, architectural drawings and musical manuals. Participants will be encouraged to draw connections between the different genres and consider wider implications for analysing the body, sensory experiences, environmental agencies, and more.

Attendance will be capped at 20-25 participants – see eligibility details below. To apply, send your application to memwomen2025@gmail.com by Friday, 2 May
