In response to the disruptions of the last few years, the theme for the 2024 GMS conference will be connections and reconnections. The conference will provide an opportunity to renew old connections, develop new ones, and explore what connections shaped the lives of medieval people. The 2024 Gender and Medieval Studies Conference invites papers that examine the connections that medieval people utilized and developed during the global Middle Ages, but also the interplay between gender and connecting. We seek papers engaging with the theme of connections from a range of disciplines and intersectional approaches, including history, literature, theology, art history, politics, religion, archaeology, and material culture. To what degree did gender shape connections? How might gender facilitate connections? How might it provide a barrier to developing connections? Plenary Speakers: Linda Mitchell, professor emerita of the University of Missouri-Kansas City Laura Kalas, Swansea University
