WITH APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING!


Dear colleagues,

I am delighted to send you the Liverpool Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies programme for this coming semester. The Centre continues to thrive thanks to the support and commitment of individual colleagues, departments and Schools in the University of Liverpool. Many, many thanks to all involved in the Centre's activities. 

Please make a note in your diaries of our research seminars, PGR workshops, special guest lectures and annual lectures, as well as the conference on the historiography of the early crusades. More information on some of the events will soon become available on our website (www.liv.ac.uk/cmrs). 

Please, do not hesitate to contact me with queries or with suggestions concerning colleagues who might want to join the LCMRS mailing list. 

With all best wishes,
Harald E. Braun, Director LCMRS
