History

 

12-13 June 2014 marked the First Annual Symposium for Medieval and Early Modern Studies at Rowan University.  The symposium was entitled "Perspectives on Chivalry: Medieval to Modern," attracting scholars from as far afield as England, Australia, and the Ukraine, as well as from a number of different states.  Keynote presentations were given by Prof. Jeffrey Hamilton of Baylor University and Dr. Sarah James of the University of Kent.  A volume of collected essays from this first symposium is currently under negotiation with Ashgate.
