This series will run from 2012 to 2014 and will compare towns from a chronological and interdisciplinary perspective. This year the focus will be on towns with monastic and Viking origins.

Date(s):

Fri, 25/05/2012 to Sat, 26/05/2012

Nun's Literacies in Medieval Europe

Date(s):

Tue, 05/06/2012 to Fri, 08/06/2012

A conference on ‘Nuns’ Literacies in Medieval Europe’ will take place at the University of Missouri-Kansas City from 5-8 June 2012. This is the second of three conferences designed to bring together specialists working on diverse geographical areas to create a dialogue about the Latin and vernacular texts nuns read, wrote, and exchanged, primarily from the eighth to the mid-sixteenth centuries. To date, there has been significant research in this field but little in the way of cross-cultural study.
