ANZAMEMS exists to promote medieval and early modern studies in Australia and New Zealand. It was formed in 1996 by the merger of ANZAMRS (Australian and New Zealand Association of Medieval and Renaissance Studies) and AHMEME (Australian Historians of Medieval and Early Modern Europe).
The 7th biennial conference is titled Alter Orbis though we interpret this phrase in an open way and the conference will host papers on literature, history, religious studies, art history, music, philosophy, medievalism, etc from academics, independent scholars, graduate students, early career researchers, all of whom are warmly invited. Two abstracts for musical pieces have already been accepted.
