"From Periodization to the Auto-Immune Secular State"

Thursday, April 20, 2017 at 4:30pm to 6:00pm

Goldwin Smith Hall, 142
232 East Ave, Central Campus

Guest lecture by Kathleen Davis, Professor of English, University of Rhode Island.

"Can we imagine history without the idea of the Middle Ages? Difficult as that may be, this talk suggests, we cannot adequately understand today's divisive politics, particularly concerning the "secular" and the "religious," without examining the fundamental premises that generated and sustain the Middle Ages as a historical period."
