medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear medieval-religion colleagues,
A professional colleague outside the university sphere has written me:
'I was talking to another medievalist and he mentioned that
universities were investing less and less in medieval studies. Do you
think that’s true?'
It is my impression that universities are investing less and less in
everything because they have less and less money. It is also,
however, my impression that medieval studies are, generally speaking,
thriving (if not actually growing). However, does anyone have any
sort of statistic, applicable to their country, their state/region,
their continent, their university network etc. about whether medieval
studies are indeed growing, declining or remaining steady relative to
other disciplines where you are?
I am grateful for your input, which I shall share with my colleague.
AND -- this is very important -- I just realized that I neglected to
thank those of you who were so kind as to answer a series of queries
I sent to the list a few months back about textual sources in a work
I was editing. So, better late than never (and certainly with
feeling): THANK YOU!! I was and am most grateful; your advice saved
the day!
George
