This conference invites participants to re-think the concepts of work and play and to assess the different ways in which public gatherings were woven into the social fabric of the Middle Ages.  In keeping with the Program's aim to promote interdisciplinary exchange among medievalists, the conference features papers from a variety of chronologies, geographies, and disciplines.
