highlyeccentricI had a paper proposal accepted to the Australian Early Medieval Association's conference in Brisbane in October! I are SRS MEDIEVALIST NOW.
Now I need a CV, in order to apply for funding. Ho hum.

Date: 2008-06-24 06:18 am (UTC)Presenting some papers at conferences and seminars is on my list of Things to Do, but not even thinking about it til I'm in Melbourne. And when my supervisor is no longer in France!

Date: 2008-06-24 07:11 am (UTC)aaargh, next on to do list: find out how the hell ANZAMEMS works and what's the deal with panels and shit.

Date: 2008-06-24 07:57 am (UTC)When you figure ANZAMEMS out, let me know. I have no idea about any of it. Except that there's a creche for children, haha.
I should really start investigating this sort of shit, particularly at my level. I need to have done a presentation of some description before my confirmation, but that aside, I told myself I'd start doing these sorts of things just so I can smack it all down on the resume and look like a competent individual when the day comes that I start career-seeking.
Are you a member of the ARC Network for Early European Research (http://www.neer.arts.uwa.edu.au/?p=1537)?? My supervisor mentions all t hese things that I should look at, but I don't have the balls to join because I'm always like, I'm not good enough to be part of this stuff yet.

Date: 2008-06-24 09:21 am (UTC)I'm gonna apply to submit :D And if a crappy honours student can, so can you. I just have to toss up between Something Serious and Thesis Related or my SGGK Bondage Spiel. Do I want to be the kid who gave her first ANZAMEMS paper on bondage?
The deadline is in September but if you want to be on a particular panel you have to submit earlier. As for who or what organises panels, I dunno. The Australian Early Medieval Association are putting one together, but I gather other people seem to be just bunching together and submitting panels. I mentioned ANZAMEMS to Dan once and he nodded and made mutterings about himself going, and Mel going, and added 'with three of us there'd be enough for a panel'. I'm not sure if that was meant to be Dan, Mel, and some other person, or if I was the third... Besides which, if I decide high medieval sex is more fun, I guess I'd have to strike out on my own and find a panel. MLAH TOO CONFUSING.
No, I'm not a member of NEER. Don't you have to be sponsored by an existing NEER-ite to go to that, or some such?
Anyway, you SHOULD join NEER, if only because they are great providers of $$$$ to cash-strapped students. They're behind this AEMA bursary I need to write a CV to apply for.

Date: 2008-06-24 08:46 am (UTC)I was talking about my thesis with a friend and saying I actually sympathise with a lot of the women branded 'whores' (back in the day), and after he'd asked why and how this could be, and I'd explained, his comment was "so there's not really a lot of difference between the so-called whores back then, and the young women of today?". And I was like, 'damn straight. I'd have been called a whore back then.' I think it would be interesting to get some sort of ... person ... who studies trends among young women today ... and have a chinwag about how these women do actually mirror medieval women. Young women move from countryside to big city, have no interfering family around, suddenly have an income, meaning previously unknown freedom. They're around young men, but also actively encouraged to delay marriage somewhat ... so what happens? SINFUL DIRTY FILTHY NON-MARITAL SEX (speaking from personal experience AND based on what I've read in the Bawdy Courts)!

Date: 2008-06-24 09:25 am (UTC)Some postgrad/post doc friends of mine were going to do a cross disciplinary Magic panel, in which they would all examine one manuscript, in both Latin and A/S, and the Anglo-Saxonist would talk about charms, and one Latinist would talk about charms and one about astrology, all based on that MS. So that would be a very tightly knit panel.

Date: 2008-06-24 12:05 pm (UTC)I prefer "central middle ages" to "high middle ages." "High middle ages" sounds very 12th-century renaissance to me, and psssht, that's when everything stopped being fun. "Central middle ages" at least retains a hint that it could be badass...
