Please cross-post as appropriate, especially to introductory college-level
student lists. (Initially sent to HUMANIST, H-JUDAIC, MEDTEXTL,
Medieval-Religion, and ELENCHUS lists.)
I offer this as an informational notice, with emphasis on the fact that
here is an unusual opportunity to study at a distance with a leading
senior scholar in medieval religion, women studies, and related fields.
