The Medieval Studies Student Colloquium (MSSC) is an independent organization dedicated to showcasing the ideas and research of the medievalist graduate student community at Cornell and the wider academic world, and to strengthening the connectivity between these medievalists. MSSC hosts an annual one-day colloquium in the spring semester organized by the graduate students of the Medieval Studies Program and its affiliated programs at Cornell. We welcome presenters and attendees from the Cornell community, across the United States, and the world, particularly those currently enrolled in graduate programs. MSSC aims to be as diverse as possible in terms of its content and the speakers and panelists it invites to speak at the colloquium. This means that the keynote speakers who are invited to speak will represent different disciplines and backgrounds each year, and we continually aim to provide a platform for underrepresented groups and disciplines within Medieval Studies.
