Work that engages with Mediterranean Studies and the Global Middle Ages is especially welcome. Graduate students and ECR are particularly encouraged to apply.

We invite papers that (re)consider the relationship between gender and sexuality studies, feminist theory, and medieval discourses of Orientalism, colonialism, race, and intercultural encounter, engaging with some aspect of Dr. Kinoshita's extensive academic corpus.

In Honor of Sharon Kinoshita II: Postcolonial Feminisms
Dr. Kinoshita’s work draws a great deal from postcolonial studies and shapes how many medievalists today incorporate it in their research and teaching.

Topics might include reflections upon Medieval Boundaries' impact, case studies from that volume in light of the intervening decades, and/or depictions of cross-cultural contact in medieval literature more broadly.

In Honor of Sharon Kinoshita I: Celebrating 20 Years of Medieval Boundaries

2026 marks the 20th anniversary of Dr. Kinoshita's landmark monograph Medieval Boundaries: Rethinking Difference in Old French Literature (Penn Press), and we invite papers that significantly engage with that work.
