Welcome to the University of Chicago's Medieval Studies Workshop Homepage! Started in 1994, the Workshop brings together faculty and graduate students from the University and from the wider Chicago community.

The Workshop currently sponsors 15 (or so) speakers each academic year and meets on alternate Fridays at 12:00 p.m. in Wieboldt 207. Our members-- either medievalists or those with an interest in the medieval period-- come from a wide variety of disciplines including Art History, History, English, Music, Divinity, Linguistics, Romance and Germanic Languages and Literatures, and NELC (Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations).While workshop sessions tend to focus on the European Middle Ages, c. 500-1500, we have sponsored speakers on related areas such as Islamic and Byzantine studies.

Enjoy!
