A n n i v e r s a r i e s

The Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. In our lecture series we celebrate by honoring both our founders and former directors as well as historical events centered around 2005. Our include lectures in history, English, music history, and folklore. The spread of topics is broad this year, but sure to interest a number of members of CMRS and their friends.

Unless indicated otherwise, each lecture will begin at 1:30 pm on Friday.  Conversation with the speaker for both Faculty and Graduate Students will be held immediately afterward in the same room.  Refreshments will be provided.  Posters downloadable below.
