Authority and Gender in Medieval and Renaissance Chronicles: Cambridge International Chronicles Symposium (CICS)

The second biennial Cambridge International Chronicles Symposium (CICS)
follows the success of our inaugural proceedings held at Cambridge in 2008.
The theme for CICS 2010 is Authority and Gender in Medieval and Renaissance
Chronicles, which will be debated over the three days during open sessions
of three twenty-five minute papers, alternating with longer keynote
addresses.

CICS intends to carry on the strong record of publication, with its
inaugural proceedings forthcoming in The Medieval Chronicle, vols IV and V,
2009 and 2010. Brepols Publishers have expressed a firm interest in
publishing a thematic set of proceedings of the 2010 Symposium, subject to
the text being submitted to peer review and accepted by the editorial
board.

The new symposium will comprise keynote addresses, panel discussions, a
tour of Cambridge College Libraries, formal conference dinner, publications
fair and wine reception. Refreshments and lunches are provided for
conference guests and college accommodation is available. As on the
previous occasion, a limited number of small bursaries will be awarded.

We invite proposals from scholars in the disciplines including but not
limited to English, History, Literature, Philosophy, and Religious Studies.

Topics for discussion could include:
