The NWO-funded research project at Utrecht University ‘The Multilingual Dynamics of the Literary Culture of Medieval Flanders, c. 1200- c. 1500’ is hosting a series of 8 e-workshops on the topic of ‘Multilingual Literary Cultures in the Middle Ages’. Each meeting will be devoted to a theme in multilingualism, approached from a particular disciplinary perspective. They will take place on Zoom every two weeks and will consist of a short, informal presentation (max. 20 minutes), an invited response (max. 10 minutes), and a general discussion designed to invite multidisciplinary perspectives (max. 20 minutes). The sessions will be scheduled on Thursdays, starting at 4 p.m. (CET).
