Medieval Studies invites you to attend the first Medieval Studies Colloquium on Wednesday, September 29, 12:00 - 1:20pm in 209 Scheide Caldwell House. D. Vance Smith (English) will present a lunch talk entitled "Forget Feudalism: Kenya and Balliol College".
The 2021-22 Medieval Studies Colloquium highlights members of the medieval faculty who will share and discuss their ongoing work, insights, questions, ideas, and future projects with other members of the medieval community here at Princeton. It will be an opportunity to get together, get to know each other a bit better, and also to get a better sense of the diversity and wide ranging interests and projects of our community.
Attendees may chose to attend in-person or Zoom, registration required for both options:
In-person: Registration is required to attend in person (at this link) and limited to Princeton-affiliated faculty and students. Space is limited to the first 30 people to register. Boxed lunches will be served. RSVP deadline for in-person attendance: Monday, September 27.
– All attendees must wear face coverings.
– Ability to social distance may not be possible.
– Princeton ID/Prox cards are required to enter the buildings.
Attendance via Zoom: Registration is required to attend via Zoom (at this link). This option is open to the wider medieval community outside of Princeton, as well as Princeton-affiliated faculty and students who prefer to socially distance.
