    Looks fantastic JJC; so much to choose from. Which one are you going for?

    Not sure Michael -- it's a case of spoiled for choice (I say that as if I could actually get a paper placed in any panel -- when of course it's not that easy!). The organizers of the panels read like a Who's Who in Medieval Studies as well.

    I am going to mull ... but I am leaning towards one of the panels that slant towards a hybrid England, since that's my current project, rather than, say, one of the sexuality or queer studies panels.

    Not that those are necessarily separate topics.

    Thanks for posting this, JJC. I tend to think I'll never present at NCS since I don't work on Chaucer (and also tend to work on the 15th century), but because of your post, I thought I'd check it out, since some of the sessions sounded broader than Chaucer alone. And sure enough, there's more than one that I'm interested in, and one especially that suits my current work. So thanks! If you hadn't blogged it, I might never have known.
