Just over a week left to submit abstracts for MAMO 2027!

MAMO-ists will recognise the Guild from their stall at the 2025 conference, and likely for their brilliant work bringing creative-critical people together!

A MAMO reminder that we're accepting abstracts through to 30th September. Thanks to everyone who has submitted proposals so far!

Everyone who was at #NCS2026 should consider putting in papers for MAMO 2027 in Oxford! Join us!

*Cough* out just in time for the 30th September CFP deadline for MAMO: a 1381 Uprising film 👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3YO...

This is my Glastonbury! And what a line-up!

That’s the location of the next MAMO sorted, then 😍 @themamoconf.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

For those who may be interested ☺️ my slides and painting from my talk 'Gawain is Not a Hero' from the @themamoconf.bsky.social are available to view on the UAL research depository (no transcript as yet since its in peer review but plenty of information) ualresearchonline.arts.ac.uk/id/eprint/24...

Some more images from MAMO conference @themamoconf.bsky.social I’m with esteemed company here, Professor Sarah Salih (KCL), Dr Josh Davies (KCL), and the wonderful Dr Rebecca Menmuir @rebeccamenmuir.bsky.social (Oxford). Such a rich experience for me and lots of new friends made 😊

back frm @themamoconf.bsky.social & inspired by 🌟 LOCAL MEDIEDVALISMS with co-pannelists @maiablumberg.bsky.social & @linseyhunter.bsky.social 🌟public interp of MA w/ @emilyrobinson.bsky.social & @krmaude.bsky.social 🌟 practical resistance to far-right MA use @menysnoweballes.bsky.social

Wow thank you Laura, it was a pleasure to meet you and hear your feminist reimaginings of Beowulf! Thank you to all the excellent speakers, listeners and questioners at @themamoconf.bsky.social and the talented team who put it together. A special few days back at @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social

Thank you all! It was a great few days and a pleasure to be a part of it! Here’s to the next one!

That's a wrap on MAMO 2025! Heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, presented, chatted, and made it such an enjoyable conference. We welcomed nearly 150 across three days, heard over 100 papers, experienced 2 fire alarms, and had countless inspiring conversations on medievalism. Until MAMO #6!

1/3: Delivering the keynote @themamoconf.bsky.social 2025 has been a wonderful (if daunting) highlight of my research activity, the painting below was made as a response to the invitation, it and the plenary were attempts to understand the women of the poem as more temporally complex figures...

The plenary talk by @michaeledenart.bsky.social at @themamoconf.bsky.social on Gawain & the Green Knight was ✨MAGNIFICENT✨ Michael’s artwork- incl his painting here, Gawain between Two Deaths- is fantastic 👏 Also, a total pleasure to chat to Michael at the conf too! 😘

Such a pleasure to present at @themamoconf.bsky.social with the brilliant @daisyeblack.bsky.social and Sheila Passey. I’m in full flow here discussing my new poem in the voice of Princess Freawaru from Beowulf, inspired by Judith beheading Holofernes (while resisting girlboss feminism!!).

Thank you @themamoconf.bsky.social for a great conference! Really well curated programme. Sorry to leave early but I have @medievalgender.bsky.social next week and much to do in between!

I just made my very first edit to @wikipedia.org in Fran and Lucy’s #MedievalWiki workshop @themamoconf.bsky.social #DigitalSkillz

Happening now! A Wiki-thon for MAMO 2025.

On my way to London right this very minute for an exciting session at MAMO 👀🔥✅ #MAMOmonth

It's the final day of MAMO! Expect it all: a Wikipedia workshop, mystics, Crusades, landscapes, Christianity, theory, pedagogy, scholarship... with a final plenary by @michaeledenart.bsky.social and a closing reception on the Terrace. See you there!

Three fantastic keynote roundtablers, who spoke beautifully on Public Chaucer. The historical Chaucer, literary Chaucer, creative Chaucer all overlapped in interesting ways. Caroline's book with ARC and Mary's with Manchester UP are for sale in the Council Room, along with many other MAMO speakers!

Some wonderful MAMO snaps from @drlauravarnam.bsky.social! MAMO Day 2 was stellar!

It was a pleasure chairing and speaking today at @themamoconf.bsky.social as part of the panel at @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social Strand Campus. Thanks to all the organisers for making this happen!

Nearly 40 people at my @themamoconf.bsky.social workshop 😍
