Medieval Boundary Making. 2nd Annual Stanford-Berkeley Graduate Student Conference
Medieval Boundary-Making. Second annual Stanford-Berkeley medieval Graduate student conference
The second annual graduate student conference organized jointly by the Stanford Center for Medieval and Early Modern Studies (CMEMS) and the UC Berkeley program in Medieval Studies examines medieval boundary-making.
The panelists will present on topics ranging from ecological to religious boundary-making. Since another purpose of the conference was to examine our own boundary-making as medievalists, we are excited to present several papers that look beyond the Latin West and that examine our own philological practices.
