This conference looks pretty academic to me, but I thought I'd forward it
to the list just in case someone out there is interested in attending.

            POCATELLO—Idaho State University will host the annual Rocky
Mountain Medieval and Renaissance Association Conference (RMMRA) April
12-14.****

             The RMMRA is an interdisciplinary association of faculty,
students and research centers in the West. In recent years the conference
has been held in Las Vegas, Salt Lake, Tempe, Ariz. and Flagstaff, Ariz.****

            The conference theme, "Categorizing the Medieval and
Renaissance Worlds," was designed to help scholars think through the
definitions they use in their research, while offering a means to explore
how period thinkers organized the natural and geographic world around them.*
***

            The conference typically attracts 50-75 participants and is
open to the general public. The College of Arts and Letters hopes to extend
the audience to local teachers, students, and interested community members.
Antonette diPaolo Healey, editor of the international Dictionary of Old
English, will present a keynote address titled, “Contested Categories,
Anxiety, and Resistance in Early English and Beyond."****

            The conference, organized by Professors Thomas Klein and Curtis
Whitaker of the ISU Department of English and Philosophy, is supported by
grants from the Idaho Humanities Council and the College of Arts & Letters.
