KEYNOTE SPEAKER: We are very pleased to announce that our keynote speaker will be Jeffrey Jerome Cohen (George Washington University).

From peasants to kings and from knights to merchants, ideas about masculinity were varied and complex during the medieval era. For this one-day conference, we invite papers from all academic disciplines that probe questions surrounding male-ness and masculinities from late antiquity through the early modern period.
"Masculinities in the Long Middle Ages" is an interdisciplinary conference organized by the Medieval Studies Certificate Program and the CUNY-Medievalists Pearl Kibre Library at the CUNY Graduate Center. This conference seeks to bring into conversation various theories and viewpoints about the ways masculinities were constructed, as well as the ways in which various constructions of masculinity intersected with ideas of class, race, and religion.

Topics may include but are not limited to:
* mysticism and masculinity
* religious and monastic masculinity
* female masculinity
* performative masculinity
* knighthood
* queer readings
* homosociality
* literary masculinity
* hagiography
* heroic masculinity
