| Abstract | This round table discussion aims to review some preliminary results of the White Rose-funded project 'Marginalisation and the Law: Medieval and Modern', which brings together medievalists and scholars of contemporary socio-legal theory in order to examine the key elements that have underpinned legal processes of marginalisation in medieval and modern societies. Topics will include: heretics, religious minorities, and women. As part of the session we will also bring our findings into conversation with work conducted by the AHRC-funded project 'Women Negotiating the Boundaries of Justice', exploring the related topic of women's access to justice in late medieval England. Our main focus will be methodological: how can interdisciplinary approaches help us to understand marginalising processes in the Middle Ages as well as to create a more inclusive modern world? Participants include Harry Munt (University of York), Maroula Perisanidi (University of Leeds), Teresa Phipps (Swansea University), and Danica Summerlin (University of Sheffield). |
