Continuing next Wednesday (November 28th) at 7:00 pm in David F. Strong Building C124 the MSCU will be holding its second of several informal research meetings where students may get together to discuss a broad general topic related to medieval history.
The aim of these meetings, which will use a broad question to begin discussion, is to allow students to approach a question where they can bring their own ideas from readings and research to the discussion and help to arrive at an 'answer', as much as one is possible, for the weekly question. Through student interaction, it is hoped that participants will become familiar with new ideas and opinions held by other students in their efforts to come to terms with the topic of discussion. Through collaboration we can arrive at some measure of truth...hopefully.
Thus, in the spirit of academic collaboration, the question for next week (28November) is:
How are the Middle Ages portrayed in modern society?
Consider this topic to encompass any aspect of modern society.
The topic ranges from historiography, pop culture, fashion, language,
film, etc...
Since we will all be mentally exhausted by this point in the year,
this topic is designed to be fun. Feel free to involve your favourite movie,
t.v. show or video game.

At the same time, if historiography is your thing
