medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Centre for Late Antique and Medieval Studies lecture series 2007-08
TEMPORALITIES: THE MIDDLE AGES ACROSS TIME
To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the Centre,
this series will explore how scholars, from various disciplinary
perspectives, construct the beginnings and endings of the Middle
Ages: our theme is cultural change, as well as the continued
resonance of the Middle Ages in the present.
All events take place Thursday evenings, starting at 5.30pm, in the
Maughan Library. N.B. The room will be confirmed in advance of each
meeting, but please check our website for details.
