What kairos! What an opportunity to evaluate the identities and roles of Hispanomedieval studies and medievalism within the conversations of both culture at large and within academia (taking the MLA synechdochically).

• Teaching medieval studies, particularly in the context of the Iberian world, is essentially that: negotiating the sites of memory
• Disciplinary history and reflection
• Since the sites of medieval memory are visual and ethical as well as verbal, we have tremendous cross-media and cross-disciplinary options
• Digitized medieval materials also provide us with a very current site of the negotiation of memory
• Plenty of medieval Spanish texts foreground precisely the negotiation of sites of memory
• This is also a very useful topic for creating panels in collaboration with other domains (chronological, generic, linguistic, etc.)

Please suggest further themes and ideas, and engage in any kind of discussion(s)!
