The Ibero-Medieval Association of North America, of which ALL who study Iberian topics are members, will meet this weekend and/or early next week to consider panel proposals to submit to the International Congress on Medieval Studies by 1 June 2021, for the
congress in May 2022. While the Board does not<span> </span><i>submit</i> the proposals, we do determine whether we will sponsor (and should we choose not to sponsor, the organizer is free to submit without our sponsorship, of course), and also make suggestions
for improving the proposal. </div>

We on the Board are very serious about representing ALL the areas of study in the Peninsula, not just Castilian literature, and are particularly interested in comparative panels, and work from all people and on all topics, particularly addressing/redressing
issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, and access, whether in the substance of the field or a metadiscourse on the discipline. I personally also invite disruptive and dissident panels -- I cannot speak for the Board in that aspect, though I will make the
case TO the Board for substantive proposals.</div>
