The FMRSI will again sponsor a session at the annual meeting of the Irish Conference of Medievalists, scheduled for 1-3 July 2015. We held a very successful session last year, our first foray at the ICM, and were so delighted that one of the papers at our session, by Emma Anderson (Glasgow/Edinburgh), won the Mícheál Ó Cléirigh prize for the best postgraduate presentation.
The prize is on offer again this year, with the continued support of the UCD Mícheál Ó Cléirigh Institute. The award, worth €100, will be announced at the end of the conference. In addition, the ICM has teamed up with Peritia, the journal of the Medieval Academy of Ireland, and the winning paper will be offered the chance of publication in the journal.
The session, however, is open to all, including senior scholars and early-career researchers, as also postgraduate students, and we would particularly welcome a cross-section representing the wider community. If you would like to offer a paper, please send title and abstract to medrenforum@gmail.com no later than Friday, 17 April.
