Description

This roundtable will conclude the series of four sessions which SAMEMES and the CHE have run as a sequence, and will be run jointly by the two organizations. ‘Feeling the Middle Ages’ will interrogate the current state of the history of emotions in medieval studies, and will reflect on understudied or as yet unexplored approaches, themes, and areas of study in order to complement and expand upon the work done in the panel sessions. We will invite presenters to offer brief position papers on the state of emotion studies in relation to medieval studies.
