I 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.

I am. It's ok, there's a bitchfight even *in* AEMA over who gets to be truly 'early'. Snarky fifth-century celticists glare at anglo saxonists and fling the insult 'high medieval' at us; and we in turn raise eyebrows at the Norseists.

Hmm, yes, I do pretty much hang with the fifth-century celticists. My advisor now works on everything from sub-Roman britain to the Norman Conquest, but leaning more and more heavily toward sub-Roman, and the same goes for my fellow grad students.

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...
