| Abstract | The third session in a strand sponsored by the Anarchist Approaches to the Middle Ages group. Following a successful round table discussion on this theme at IMC 2019, attended by an international group of medievalists from all career stages, this strand is an experiment in 'rethinking what we know best' (i.e. our specialisms in Medieval Studies) using anarchist ideas and approaches. The third session focuses on stories of resistance, and explores new ways in which we can think about power in medieval societies. |
