Description
Catherine Mooney's recent publication provides an important opportunity for scholars of medieval religious women to assess the state of the field. This roundtable seeks to bring together those who study Clare and other cloistered Franciscan nuns with others interested in how both religious sisters and lay women negotiated their roles in the thirteenth-century vita apostolica. The four panelists will speak briefly, addressing the book and Mooney’s significant contributions from diverse perspectives. Catherine Mooney will respond, with time for additional conversation with the presenters and audience. (Co-sponsored by WIFIT and the Franciscan Institute.)
