Description

This session will consider the depiction of otherness in the medieval period, utilising a range of sources and approaches, whether literary, historical, theological, or material. This session aims to push the boundaries of the current state of research, and offer new approaches through interdisciplinary work on a topic that is often mentioned but seldom explored in great depth.
