The Atlantic Mediaeval Association is a small but vibrant community dedicated to fostering scholarly conversations and connections amongst mediaevalists living and working in the North Atlantic region, particularly Atlantic Canada and New England. The annual Atlantic Mediaeval Association conference encourages proposals in any relevant discipline, including history, theology, philosophy, literature in all vernacular languages and Latin, and the reception and use of the Middle Ages in later cultures.
