Call for Papers

Postgraduate students engaged with research involving the medieval period are invited to participate and attend this symposium at Cardiff University. Over the period of this symposium, we will explore the broad theme of medieval identity in its numerous forms.

Themes could include, but are not limited to:
-­‐ Cultural convergence and exchange

-­‐ Death and burial
-­‐ Social or political status
