Fall 2025-26 Events
The Medieval Studies Program’s speaker series for 2025-26 is “Border/Crossings.” Our invited guests will each approach the topic of borders, boundaries, and their crossing from a different angle, helping us to consider the fungibility of material borders political, geographical, and otherwise; the oppositions and intersections of Christian and non-Christian communities; the frequent entanglement of families, friends, and enemies; the cleaving of body and soul; the lines that the divide but yet also join art and fashion, utility and beauty, human and divine, trauma and triumphant recovery, and, of course, the medieval and the modern. As a whole, the series speaks to the very meaning of interdisciplinarity, in which border-crossing is a given. Events in this series, generously co-sponsored by multiple campus partners, are marked with an asterisk.
Please, come back soon for 2025-26 programming!
