include, but are not limited to:
-modern portrayals of any aspect of Arthurian legends or Shakespeare
-modern versions or adaptations of any other Medieval or Renaissance writer
-modern investigations of historical figures such as Eleanor of Aquitaine, The
Richards, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Mary Queen of Scots
-teaching Medieval and Renaissance texts to modern students
-Medieval or Renaissance links to fantasy fiction, gaming, comics, video games, etc.

Presentations can be in the form of individual papers, panels, workshops,

alternative format if it would better suit their topic.
