This conference invites proposals for papers, paper sessions, round tables, panels, and workshops that celebrate, rebuke, categorize, visualize, analyze, and/or prophesize all items that contain elements of the medieval to be found on the Internet.  However, we invite papers and presentations on all topics of medievalism, not limited to this year’s conference theme.
