IMS Paris's 18th Annual Symposium

Medieval Communities

Join us for a symposium convening an international group of scholars in the heart of Paris. We will hear 25 papers centered around the broad theme of community. Our keynote speakers this year are Sharon Farmer (University of California, Santa Barbara) and Cécile Voyer (Center for Advanced Studies in Medieval Civilization, University of Poitiers).

Registration to attend is still open.

For more than two decades the IMS-Paris has promoted interdisciplinary intellectual exchange among international scholars of medieval studies and colleagues in France.

A bilingual non-profit association founded in Paris in 2003 by Meredith Cohen (UCLA) and Danielle Johnson (Wells College, Paris), the IMS-Paris has grown to count a dynamic group of art and architectural historians, historians, musicologists, and literary scholars from all over the world among its members.

We organize a number of activities throughout the year to benefit medievalists who are carrying out research in France, and to help French academics gain visibility at international conferences in Europe and the Americas.
