Daily Life in the Medieval Household
February 4, 2023
Save the date!
Please join us on Saturday, February 4, 2023, for a look at the comforts, hazards, and secrets of daily life in the medieval household. From Beijing to Baghdad to Bergen, what was the level of material enjoyment and efficiency in medieval homes around the world? How many people slept in one bed? To what extent were belongings shared and safeguarded? What were the roles of children among other members of kith and kin? Who was included and excluded? Join us for a one-day exploration of medieval domesticity and daily life.
Online donations towards to conference and student support are welcome at any time.
Gifts to this fund support our annual conference by providing honorariums to musicians and students, as well as provide resources for our students to attend conferences, field schools and host their own colloquiums on campus.
Medieval Conspiracies, Fakes, and Follies
Medieval fakes and facsimiles are all around us. Come to this daylong event for a timely and amusing consideration of medieval forgeries, fabricated histories, bizarre plots and obsessions. Learn about imposter kings, counterfeit charters, conspiracy theories, phoney relics, and much more. It will be a chance to reflect on how people in the past sorted fact from fancy, and to what extent medieval fantasies continue to shape the modern world.
