Abstract

In 2019, three graduate students working on different areas of Medieval Iberia met at a reception in Leeds and commiserated over the difficulties of meeting other Medieval Iberianists in the early stages of one's career, making global connections, and sharing one's work internationally with the field. Such difficulties have only been compounded by the global pandemic. That chance meeting, however, led to the establishment of AGECSMIberia, a group dedicated to connecting graduate and early career Iberianists globally, creating networking opportunities, and showcasing new work through sponsored sessions, the first of which is the New Faces in Medieval Iberian Studies series.
