MÉDIÉVALES SUR L'ÎLE DE LA TORTUE

RÉUNION ANNUELLE DE LA SOCIÉTÉ CANADIENNE DES MEDIÉVISTES 2026 / 2026

La commission EDID de la SCM / CSM lance un appel à contributions sur l'indigénéité et le médiéval. Plus d'une décennie s'est écoulée depuis que la Commission de vérité et de réconciliation a publié son rapport et 94 appels à l'action. Le monde universitaire a été appelé à décoloniser, réconcilier et indigéniser son approche à la recherche, l'érudition et la salle de classe. Cette séance s'appuie sur les excellentes conversations de la table ronde « Slow Engagement » du Congrès international d'études médiévales 2025, qui a demandé aux à la communauté de recherche médiévale de réfléchir à la manière donton a ralenti pour être responsables et réciproques dans son apprentissage, son approche et son engagement avec les études indigènes.

• Comment pouvons-nous nous engager de manière respectueuse et appropriée avec les méthodologies indigènes dans nos approches des études médiévales?
• Comment les communautés indigènes ont-elles réagi, se sont-elles engagées, ont-elles subverti ou se sont-elles approprié les études médiévales ou le médiévalisme?
• A quoi ressemblent les engagements personnels et/ou de recherche avec les communautés, les identités et la préservation du savoir indigène pour différentes personnes en études médiévales, et quels sont les enseignements tirés de ces engagements?
• Quel a été l'impact du colonialisme sur la discipline des études médiévales? Ou encore, comment les études médiévales ont-elles été un outil essentiel du colonialisme?

Les présentations peuvent être livrées en anglais ou en français et doivent durer de 15 à 20 minutes. Les propositions doivent être envoyées par courriel avant le 5 janvier 2026. Pour toute question ou soumission de proposition, veuillez contacter Brenna Duperron à l'adresse

Creation d'un
monde LGBQT+
Le comité EDID (Equité, diversité, inclusivité et décolonisation) de la SCM/CSM lance un appel à communications pour une session sur la création de mondes queers dans les études médiévales. Cette session part de l'idée que l'homosexualité n'est pas seulement une catégorie identitaire ou une perspective critique, mais aussi une manière d'imaginer, de créer et d'habiter d'autres mondes. Nous nous intéressons à la manière dont les textes médiévaux envisagent des alternatives aux idéaux normatifs, et à la façon dont les approches queer de ces textes peuvent ouvrir des possibilités de transformation.

2026 ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE CANADIAN SOCIETY OF MEDIEVALISTS / RÉUNION ANNUELLE DE LA SOCIÉTÉ
CANADIENNE DES MÉDIÉVISTES 2026
The EDID Committee of the CSM/SCM invites papers on Indigeneity and the medieval. It has been over a decade since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission released their report and 94 Calls to Action. Academia was called to decolonize, reconcile, and Indigenize their apporach to research, scholarship, and the classroom. This panel builds on conversations from the 2025 International Congress of Medieval Studies' "Slow Engagement" Roundtable, which asked medieval scholars to consider how they've
'slowed down' to be responsible and reciprocal in their learning, approaching, or engaging with Indigenous Studies.

PAPERS MIGHT CONSIDER:
• How can we respectfully and appropriately engage with Indigenous methodologies in our approaches to medieval studies?
• How have indigenous communities responded to, engaged with, subverted, or appropriated medieval studies or medievalism?
• What do personal and/or scholarly engagements with Indigenous communities, identities, and Knowledge Keepers look like for diffferent medievalists, and what has been learned from such engagements?
• What has been the impact of colonialism on the discipline of medieval studies? Alternately, how have medieval studies been an essential tool in colonialism?

Presentations may be in either English or French and should be 15-20 minutes in length. Please submit proposals by email by January 5, 2026. For inquiries or proposal submissions, please contact

As promised, a recap of some of the sessions at the Canadian Society of Medievalists Annual Conference at Waterloo Ontario June 9-11 2025. First, our plenary address by Dr. Echard! An introduction to the art of facsimiles, focussing especially on the 18th and 19th centuries.
A slide showing a book cover. On he book cover is a medieval illuminated initial, and F in green and gold, highly decorated. It is the beginning of the word Facsimile. the entire title is Facsimlie: Making Likeness and Medieval Manuscipts. Below the title is a cross and then the author's name in dark red/brown, Siân Echard. On the left is a note saying that the CSM 2025 plenary address was by De. Echard and entitled "Facsimile: Making Likeness and Medieval Manuscripts: Reproducing Medieval Manuscripts in the 18th and 19th Centuries.

Hello #medievalsky! Please see a CFP for special panel devoted to queer pasts, queer futurities being planned for the CSM Annual Conference at Waterloo in June. See details in images below.
A CFP which reads: 

Call for Papers/Session(s) at the

2025 Annual Conference of the Canadian Society of Medievalists

June 9-11, 2025

at St Jerome’s University in the University of Waterloo,

Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Queer Pasts/Queer Futurities

The EDID (Equity, Diversity, Inclusivity and Decolonization) Committee of the CSM/SCM invites papers for a session, or sessions, that will consider queerness in both the medieval past and its future(s). This panel seeks to disrupt the myth that queerness must be defended— that its place in the medieval past and in medievalism must be “proven.” We will consider where queerness has been overwritten or forgotten in medieval scholarship, where it has been written into medievalism, and/or where it has valuably shaped scholarly conversations. 

Papers might consider:

Queer methodologies for analyzing medieval histories, arts, and/or literatures
Pedagogical approaches to and/or engagements with queerness
How we can locate and study queerness in the medieval past
The silencing, erasing, and/or Othering of queer voices/figures
How queer temporalities might disrupt linear/normative historical narratives
 Queerness in medievalism (considering the representation of queerness in fantasy, science fiction, gaming, etc.)
How queer identities have and/or continue to intersect with other axes of identity (considering race, disability, class, etc.) 
Presentations may be in either English or French and should be 15- 20 minutes in length. Please submit proposals by email by January 10, 2025.Proposal Details which reads:

Proposal Submission Details:

Paper proposals must include a document giving the title plus a one-page abstract (without identifying the author). A separate document should consist of a one-page curriculum vitae which includes the paper’s title at the top.

**Scholars need not be members of the Canadian Society of Medievalists to submit proposals but, by the time of the conference, must be members in good standing and are expected to pay their 2024-25 annual membership fees to CSM / SCM by March 15, 2025 if they are not already members. For more information on our Society, visit https://canadianmedievalists.org/ and for more information on the Annual Conference and the general CFP, please visit: https://www.canadianmedievalists.org/Annual**
