Medieval Studies invites you to attend the Medieval Studies Colloquium on Wednesday, October 27, 12:00 - 1:20pm in 209 Scheide Caldwell House. Eve Krakowski (Near Eastern Studies and Program in Judaic Studies) will present a lunchtime talk on October 27 entitled “Before the Geniza Documents: The Case of a Marriage Arbitration from the Tenth-Century Fayyūm”.
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 choose to attend in-person or via 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, October 25.
– All attendees must wear face coverings.
– Ability to social distance may not be possible.
– Princeton ID/Prox cards are required to enter the building.
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.
