That's a wrap on MAMO 2025! Heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, presented, chatted, and made it such an enjoyable conference. We welcomed nearly 150 across three days, heard over 100 papers, experienced 2 fire alarms, and had countless inspiring conversations on medievalism. Until MAMO #6!

1/3: Delivering the keynote @themamoconf.bsky.social 2025 has been a wonderful (if daunting) highlight of my research activity, the painting below was made as a response to the invitation, it and the plenary were attempts to understand the women of the poem as more temporally complex figures...

First day at @themamoconf.bsky.social; really looking forward to the panels! Come check out all our books on #Medievalism (plus one picture book that accidentally got shipped to London).
A cardboard box on a wooden floor contains a selection of books, including academic titles and a colorful children's book in German. The visible titles include “Æthelflæd, Lady of the Mercians, and Women in Tenth-Century England” and a children’s book by Janosch titled "Mutter sag, wer macht die Kinder?" (translated: "Mother, tell me, who makes the children?"). Other books are stacked nearby, with visible academic titles from De Gruyter and Brill, such as "Medieval Futurity".A De Gruyter Brill book display is set up on a table covered with a branded dark blue cloth in a formal room with blue curtains and a portrait on the wall. The table showcases a range of academic books across various topics, with promotional signs and red tote bags hanging from the side. Sunlight streams through large windows in the background.
