Workshop in Medieval and Renaissance Studies

MARC's new interdisciplinary working group dedicated to the study of the arts, sciences, histories and cultures of the medieval and early modern periods continues through the Spring semester. The Workshop in Medieval and Renaissance Studies seeks to provide a forum for dialogue and exchange open to all members of the NYU community. It aims to be interdisciplinary not only by involving students and faculty from various programs and departments throughout NYU, but also by posing questions that demand multidisciplinary treatment. We will continue to meet monthly to hear papers, exchange ideas, and discuss current trends in medieval and Renaissance studies. All workshops are free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
