How to Engage Now: Medieval Studies and Public Discourse in 2018

How do we and can we, as scholars of the Middle Ages and of medieval art, engage with the general public in the current political climate? Participants in this session will share specific questions, concepts, and activities that they have formulated and and/or carried out in public way. The session will culminate in a larger discussion among all in the room to generate concrete plans for actions in the coming year.
