The Rocky Mountain Medieval and Renaissance Association invites panel and paper proposals on the theme, “Peregrinatio pro amore Dei: Aspects of Pilgrimage in the Middle Ages and Renaissance” for our conference on June 12-14, 2014. The venue is SpringHill Suites Marriott in downtown Denver, CO, adjacent to the Metropolitan State University of Denver. Pilgrimage to holy sites was a mainstay of European life throughout the medieval and Renaissance periods; journeys to places such as Canterbury, Santiago de Compostela, Assisi, Rome, Mecca, and Jerusalem informed a devotional tradition from all social classes, evoked commentary by chroniclers, playwrights, and poets, and inspired artistic, iconographic, and literary expressions. The RMMRA Program Committee welcomes individual paper and panel proposals that address the conference theme from disciplines within the late antique, medieval, Renaissance, and Reformation periods (c. 4th to 17th Centuries). We invite all approaches, but special consideration will be given to those papers that attempt historical, literary, scientific, archaeological, and anthropological inquiries of pilgrimage. AS ALWAYS, ALL PAPER AND SESSION PROPOSALS RELATED TO MEDIEVAL & RENAISSANCE STUDIES ARE WELCOME! (THEME NOT REQUIRED.) Extended Deadline: Abstracts are now due December 31, 2013 at contact emails listed: tj_upton@icloud.com and klimekk@msudenver.edu
