Hi, everyone, I have exciting news (well, it’s exciting to me): I’ll be giving the plenary talk at this year’s Medieval Association of the Midwest conference in October! My talk will be on cannibals and gender in medieval literature, and is part of my current monograph-in-progress on violence at the feast in medieval texts. This will be my first-ever conference plenary talk, and I am delighted to have this chance to share my research with a larger audience. Here’s the poster for the conference:
Fun, right? I am really looking forward to this!

How fancy and exciting!
