medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Following a number of conversations at Kalamazoo, I thought some of you
might be interested in this one day conference on pilgrimage to be held at
the University of York. It is free (including lunch). Places are limited
but there are a few left so please get in touch soon if you would like to
come. As you will see, it is designed to promote a broad interdisciplinary
conversation about pilgrimage and I would love to have some more
medievalists present!
best wishes
Dee Dyas
