>The 2007 GMS conference proposes to explore models of medieval gender -
>whether past or present, in theory or in performance - and their
>dissemination and consumption. The broadest interpretation of the term
>'model' will be welcomed. In particular, the conference seeks to stimulate
>discussion about the convergences/divergences between different types of
>models separated by time, function or application. Some issues that might
>be addressed are:
>* How models are constituted and the forms they can take
>* Comparing/contrasting models of gendered practices as they emerge from
>various sources: literature, visual arts, documents, material remains etc.
>* How modern models affect our perception of medieval gender
>* How different disciplines have modelled gender differently
>
>The Gender and Medieval Studies (GMS) Group is a UK-based organisation
>devoted solely to putting together an annual interdisciplinary conference
>which furthers the study of medieval gender. The conference provides a
>unique forum for researchers to present their work to an audience
>receptive to the impact of gender, sexuality and sexual orientation on the
>study of medieval culture.
