Doctoral candidate Rachel Carlisle is one of this year’s conference organizers and will moderate “Status and Sociopolitical Conflict,” a roundtable discussion about how medieval and early modern individuals employed visual culture to construct identity, symbolize status, and challenge sociopolitical norms, on Saturday, February 13.
