CMEMS Workshop

The CMEMS Workshop exists to engage the interdisciplinary cohort of medieval and early modern scholars at Stanford in an ongoing discussion and collaboration.

The CMEMS lunchtime workshop was created by a group of scholars here at Stanford who wanted to gather to learn about and discuss a wide range of topics relevant to medieval and early modern studies. Visiting scholars join Stanford graduate students and faculty in sharing their work. 

Join us in Pigott Hall (building 260), Room 252 on Wednesdays at 12:00pm for stimulating discussions and wonderful papers. The workshops will always run from 12:00 to 1:15pm, but we recommend getting to the room a few minutes early to get settled!

January 15: Bernardo Hinojosa (Stanford University): "A World in Motion: Physics, Rhetoric, and the Medieval Art of Description"
