Call for Papers: 9th Annual Graduate Student Conference in Medieval Studies - "Celebrations"

Hello all!  Jenn here again.  Here's another CFP from my friends at the CUNY Grad Center.  I'm well into the first semester of my very first year as A.B.D., and I'm beginning to contemplate some blog posts on the dissertation project I am cooking up.  In the meantime, I hope these CFPs are useful to you or those you know.
