Abstract | NEMUS, the Network for the Environment in Medieval Usages & Societies, is a digital platform for scholars of medieval environmental studies to engage, discuss, and pursue collaboration. Still in its early days, the Network's main contribution should be to address the gap (often too wide) between distinct, yet overlapping, scientific areas. It aims to facilitate the development of interdisciplinarity, the gestation of new ideas, and, so we hope, enhanced collaboration across the so-called 'hard' and 'soft' sciences. Corresponding to NEMUS' inaugural scientific meeting, the papers in this session take Environmental Medieval Studies as being intrinsically a polydisciplinary field of study. The discussion will depart from that implication, taking stock of differing methodologies and approaches in science for researching the same common ground. |
