The event, sponsored by the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures, is meant to foster discussion among graduate students of Romance studies from all over North America and provide them with a forum for presenting their research. A selection of the proceedings will be published in the department's graduate student academic journal Romance Review . A concert of medieval vernacular song, performed by DuoLiveOak, will conclude the first day. It will take place at 8 p.m. in St. Mary's Chapel. The second day of the conference will feature a series of discussions and plenary sessions focused on specific areas of Romance studies, such as French studies, Hispanic studies, and medieval Europe and Islam.
All events are open to the public and free of charge.
