University of Huddersfield
6-8 July 2012

This conference seeks to explore and re-evaluate medieval men’s relationship with religion, both professed religious men and laymen. Despite their centrality to ‘traditional’ histories of the Middle Ages, many aspects of the lives and representation of medieval men remain relatively unexplored. Only recently have scholars begun to consider what religion, belief and devotion meant to men as men and how these informed and intersected with other aspects of their identity (social status, gender, occupation, ethnicity, age, location, etc).

Plenary speakers include: Professor Michael Satlow (Brown), Dr Jennifer Thibodeaux (Wisconsin-Whitewater) and Dr James Clark (Bristol). For further information go to: http://www2.hud.ac.uk/mhm/history/research/conferences/religiousmen.php
