OMG! Another lost medieval nerd is sending you virtual hugs! I loved attending the ‘Zoo! I made the mistake of leaving the Middle Ages for the American Civil War, where racism and misogyny are on hyperdrive, and trying to change the system is appallingly awful. I am in the thick of it and truth be told am sick and exhausted by it all. How delightful it would be to go back to Kalamazoo and feel like we all belong and all matter and are laughing and grinning on the dance floor with everyone else.
I feel like there has to be a way (patreon? gofundme?) to start a drive amongst those of us with a little more luck and privilege to help support the attendance of "independent" (read, marginalized by the tenure system and the corporatization of the university) scholars whose company we value at the 'Zoo. You are too valuable to the small and familial community of progressive medieval art historians to be forever exiled from that strange and dubious paradise.
