IMC 2011: Sessions

This joint Leeds-Sheffield-York project intends to examine the modern study of the history of the Middle Ages, on a collaborative and international basis, with particular reference to the study of the Middle Ages in Continental Europe. Over the next twelve months in workshops and lectures at participating Universities the project will discuss a number of influential recent approaches to medieval history; examine different national traditions of medieval historical study (including how this has reflected, and influenced, contemporary politics); and reflect upon the interaction between professional historians and the public imagination of the Middle Ages. This round table discussion aims to discuss the possibilities, themes, and parameters of the project.

Participants include Peter Biller (University of York), Gábor Klaniczay (Central European University, Budapest), Martial Staub (University of Sheffield), and Ian N. Wood (University of Leeds).
