Yale Lectures in Medieval Studies

Yale Lectures in Medieval Studies logoThe Medieval Studies Program organizes Yale Lectures in Medieval Studies, an interdisciplinary lecture series. We aim to bring to Yale the most creative scholars of the Middle Ages worldwide, to present innovative and exciting work in fields such as paleography, codicology, liturgical studies, music, history of art, archaeology, history, literature, and philosophy. The series, which is run by students in medieval disciplines, emphasizes intellectual diversity and rigorous scholarship and is a vital part of Yale’s interdisciplinary approach to the medieval period.
 
This enterprise is generously supported by The Program in Medieval Studies; the Beinecke Rare Books and Manuscripts Library; the Whitney Humanities Center; the European Studies Council; the Council on Middle East Studies; the Hellenic Studies Program; Yale Divinity School; the Institute of Sacred Music; the Departments of Classics, Comparative Literature, English, French, Germanic Languages and Literatures, History, History of Art, Italian Studies, and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations; the Isaac H. Bromley Lectureship; the Harvard Lectureship; and the Charles Gallaudet Trumbull Lectureship.
