The International Society for the Study of Medievalism is an academic organization meant to promote the interdisciplinary study of the popular and scholarly reception of the Middle Ages in postmedieval times. The society is based on the work and studies of Leslie J. Workman (1927–2001), the founder of the academic study of medievalism in the English-speaking world. The society promotes innovative and inclusive interdisciplinary scholarship.
The society maintains a peer-reviewed journal, Studies in Medievalism, an online journal for shorter articles and proceedings (The Year’s Work in Medievalism), and a review journal, Medievally Speaking. We also organize annual conference sessions at the International Congress on Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University and the International Medieval Congress at the University of Leeds, and an annual international conference. This year’s Georgia Tech conference is ISSM’s 34th.
