The Middle Ages in the Modern World is a revived conference about the ways in which the Middle Ages have been received, imagined, invoked, relived, used, abused, and refashioned in the modern and contemporary worlds. 

We are delighted to welcome over 100 speakers to this year’s MAMO. The programme is now available to view on our Conference Programme page, and will be regularly updated. The MAMO will include presented papers, workshops and showcases, plenary lectures and roundtables, gaming playtests, a performance, and a reception (sponsored by the New Chaucer Society).
