The International Society for the Study of Early Medieval England offers exciting opportunities for graduate students working in all areas of our field. Every two years the Society hosts a graduate workshop which takes place just before the ISSEME biennial conference and it annually sponsors ‘New Voices’ sessions by graduate students and young researchers at the International Congress on Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University and at the International Medieval Congress at the University of Leeds. The Society is able to offer a number of travel awards to enable students to attend the graduate workshop. Students are also encouraged to apply for funding from the Lynne Grundy Memorial trust, with which the Society maintains close ties.
Graduate workshops
