>Dear MAP members,
>
>I write on behalf of the MAP officers and Council Members to greet you at
>the beginning of another academic year, to ask you to renew your membership
>for the 2006-07 academic year, and to invite you to submit a proposal for a
>paper or session at the next annual MAP conference.
>
>The conference, hosted by the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies
>at UCLA, will take place March 2-3, 2007.  Blair Sullivan and Scott
>Kleinman are chairing the local arrangements committee for the 2007 meeting.
>
>Abstracts for papers are due November 1, 2006 and should be sent as e-mail
>attachments simultaneously to Brenda Schildgen, Secretary of MAP
>(bdschildgen at ucdavis.edu), and Blair Sullivan (sullivan at humnet.ucla.edu).
>
>Your one-page abstract should include your name, discipline, institution,
>and e-mail address.  Independent scholars should provide other contact
>information.  Papers normally will be 20 minutes in length. We also welcome
>proposals for full sessions, preferably interdisciplinary and with
>presenters from more than one institution.  Proposals for full sessions
>should include a cover sheet containing the names, affiliations, and
>complete contact information for the three participants and the session
>organizer.
>
>Since it also now time to renew your membership, an application/renewal
>form is attached below. You will also find one on the MAP web site:
>http://www.cmrs.edu/MAP/. Our dues, a remarkably low $25 each year, must be
>one of the great bargains available.  Therefore we particularly appreciate
>members who renew annually whether they attend the annual meeting or not.
>We also warmly appreciate the gifts many members send along with their dues.
>
>Membership renewals should be mailed to our treasurer,
>Mary-Lyon Dolezal
>Department of Art History
>University of Oregon
>Eugene, OR  97403-5229
>
>
>Please remind graduate students working on medieval topics that MAP
>subsidizes student registration fees for our annual meetings, and that it
>makes available the following awards and prizes:
>
>The John F. Benton Travel Awards, which contribute $400.00 towards the cost
>of travel to conferences for independent scholars and graduate students.
>
>The Founders' Prizes, given to the best graduate student papers delivered
>at the annual MAP conference.
>
>The next deadline for the Benton awards is November 1, 2006: applications
>should be made to the Vice President, Peter Diehl, pddiehl at cc.wwu.edu.
>
>I look forward to seeing many of you in Los Angeles next March. In the
>meantime, do continue to check in with the website to keep abreast of MAP's
>activities.
>
>Sincerely,
>Phyllis Brown
>President, Medieval Association of the Pacific
