Please join us at the Medieval Studies Graduate Student Roundtable this semester!

The Roundtable is a place for graduate students to workshop their projects and a community space where everyone's voice and presence are valued whether or not they have expertise on the topic being presented. It is both a space for graduate students to receive feedback on their works in progress and an opportunity for faculty and graduate students to learn more about the wide range of specialties represented in the medievalist community at Cornell.

Dante King will present his paper, “Ephemeral Excellence: Dante’s Philosophy on Visual Art and Secular Government.”

Papers will be distributed via email about a week in advance.

The Roundtable will be in-person again this semester in Olin Library 703--with refreshments and snacks! All meetings will be on Thursdays, from 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm

Upcoming events in the series:

March 16, Kate Bajorek will give a mock conference presentation, “An Eternal Home: Reconsidering Eaves-Drip Burial through Affective and Domestic Archaeology.”

April 20, Hunter Phillips will present his paper, “De la meschine vus voel dire: Female Lovesickness in Le Roman de Silence”

May 4th, Thari Zweers will give a mock conference presentation on “Christine de Pizan’s Construction of Borders in the Ditié de la Jehanne d’Arc.”
