International Congress on Medieval Studies, Kalamazoo, MI (May 9-10, 2008)
I will be attending the International Congress on Medieval Studies this Friday and Saturday and presenting a paper on gender distinctions in Italian Renaissance dance at 1:30 Saturday afternoon, session 457, "Wel Koude I Daunce: Insights into Early Dance in Literature." My co-panelists will be Tracie Brown on dance in Le Roman de la Rose and Emily Winerock on the 17th-century Cushion Dance. Kathleen Dimmich will preside.
I also expect to attend at least part of session 511, "Weblogs and the Academy: Professional and Community Outreach through Internet Presence" to find out what others are saying about history blogging.
I would enjoy meeting any Kickery readers who might be attending the Congress, especially those who might be interested in furthering the study of dance history in academic settings.
Sad -- you were on the other side of the state but I could not go see! My hubby and I are thinking of coming to your Regency workshop in late June, though! Cathy got us interested! :)

It would be great to see you in June! If I have a paper at Kalamazoo next year, perhaps we'll put in for a little dance-reception or something; would you come if we did?
