Join us for our 22nd Annual Mellon Colloquium

Join the Medieval Institute on Friday, April 19th, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. for its twenty-second annual Mellon Colloquium, featuring the work of Dr. John Mulhall, Assistant Professor of History at Purdue University.

Since 2001, through the generous response of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to a challenge grant awarded to Notre Dame by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Medieval Institute has offered an A. W. Mellon Junior Faculty Fellowship in Medieval Studies to an outstanding young tenure-track faculty member to do research while in residence for the year at Notre Dame. The intent of this Fellowship is to enable its holders to complete research and writing on a book manuscript in advance of tenure. To that end, towards the conclusion of their residencies, Fellows present their work at our Annual Mellon Colloquium.

The research of Dr. Mulhall, our 2023–24 Mellon Fellow, explores the history of science and religion in the medieval Mediterranean, focusing specifically on intellectual interactions among the Islamic, Byzantine, and Latin Christian worlds. His book project is The Republic of Translators: Latin, Greek, Arabic and a New Age of Science, Philosophy, and Theology in the Twelfth Century.

Dr. Mulhall will be joined by three distinguished discussants for a conversation about his work: Charles Burnett (The Warburg Institute), Peter Adamson (King's College, London, and the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich), and Thomas E. Burman (University of Notre Dame). 

This event will be held in person as well as over Zoom (registration required).
