Description

"Old Sources, New Histories", is a roundtable intended to foster a dialogue among scholars who, like Professor Berman, have utilized non-narrative sources (charters, cartularies, legal treatises, etc.) to tell the stories of individuals or groups that, until recently, remained untold or inaccurately understood. It is our hope that the scholars participating in this panel represent a variety of fields and areas of inquiry, such as environmental history, economic history, the history of technology, gender history and monastic history. The common thread in the discussion is that they, like Professor Berman, have used methodologies or approaches that resulted in important interventions in the field of medieval history.
