The organizers of the Medieval Academy’s 100th meeting created the Centennial Bursary program and the graduate pedagogy bursary program to recognize and support colleagues across the disciplines without sources of institutional funding, offering subventions to assist with travel and accommodation costs for the annual meeting as well as the pre-conference workshop Teaching in the Global Middle Ages. We are grateful to the many sponsors, partners, and donors who made it possible for these individuals to attend this year’s meeting, and to share their outstanding research with all of us. Those receiving Centennial or graduate pedagogy bursaries, along with their bursary sponsors, are listed below.
