The Medieval Studies Research Blog, "Meet us at the Crossroads of Everything," is a multi-author blog sponsored by the Medieval Institute. Our posts come from current and former members as well as friends of Notre Dame’s vibrant international medievalist community. The blog represents the full spectrum of research performed among medieval scholars, including topics related to current research projects, pedagogy, the state of the humanities, working in the archives, translation and editing projects, and more. We'd love to have you contribute!
