The Gender and Creativity Conference 2026, organised by the Gender & Medieval Studies (GMS) Group, will bring together scholars, researchers, and students to explore the relationship between gender, creativity, and medieval culture. Taking place at University College Oxford, United Kingdom, the conference will provide a platform for discussing innovative research approaches within medieval studies. The event is scheduled from 8 September to 10 September 2026 and will focus on how creativity shaped and reflected gender identities throughout the medieval period. Gender and Medieval Studies has long encouraged interdisciplinary research into how ideas of masculinity, femininity, sexuality, and identity were represented in medieval societies. This conference continues that tradition by examining creative expressions across literature, art, manuscripts, performance, religious texts, and historical records. A Platform for Medieval Gender Research The conference offers an important opportunity for academics and researchers to present new findings and engage with current debates in medieval gender studies. Participants will explore how medieval communities understood gender roles and how creative practices influenced social and cultural identities. Through keynote sessions, research presentations, and discussions, attendees will gain deeper insights into medieval approaches to identity, representation, and creativity. The event encourages conversations between different academic disciplines, allowing historians, literary specialists, art historians, and cultural researchers to share perspectives. Exploring Creativity Through a Gender Lens Creativity played an important role in medieval society. From illuminated manuscripts and religious artwork to poetry, storytelling, and performance traditions, creative works provide valuable evidence about how gender was understood and represented. The Gender and Creativity Conference 2026 will examine how creators, audiences, and communities interacted with ideas of gender during the medieval period. Researchers will explore questions surrounding authorship, representation, and cultural influence. Topics may include: Gender representation in medieval literature. Women’s contributions to artistic and intellectual traditions. Masculinity and identity in medieval societies. Gender symbolism in medieval artwork. Creativity and social transformation. These discussions highlight the importance of considering gender when studying medieval history and culture. Academic Networking and Knowledge Exchange One of the key benefits of attending the conference is the opportunity to connect with researchers from different institutions. The event creates an environment where emerging scholars and experienced academics can exchange ideas, develop collaborations, and discuss future research opportunities. Networking sessions will allow participants to build professional relationships within the medieval studies community. Postgraduate students and early-career researchers can gain valuable feedback on their research projects while learning from established scholars. The conference also supports a welcoming academic environment where diverse viewpoints and research approaches are encouraged. Why Attend Gender and Creativity Conference 2026?

Traditional approaches to medieval history are increasingly being complemented by studies focusing on overlooked voices, marginalised communities, and alternative perspectives. The Gender and Creativity Conference 2026 contributes to this growing field by encouraging research that challenges established narratives. Through critical discussion and creative exploration, participants can better understand the complexities of medieval societies. The conference also reflects the importance of studying history through multiple perspectives. Gender analysis provides valuable insights into social structures, cultural practices, and human experiences across different periods.
