A forum for the presentation and discussion of scholarly work in Medieval Studies, emphasizing comparative and interdisciplinary approaches. Working closely with Harvard’s Committee on Medieval Studies, other Mahindra Humanities Center seminars, and medievalists across campus, this seminar fosters dialogue between established medievalists, both local and visitors, and graduate students.
