Sneak peek at my slides for the NWMS Symposium! A rabbit hole from the start of my PhD that I happily descended back down to prepare for this... even the solar calculators and azimuth calculations... honest... #medievalsky

NWMS SYMPOSIUM

OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THIS PAPER

This year’s annual NWMS PGR symposium marks its fifth anniversary by taking inspiration from a familiar academic experience: getting lost down a research rabbit hole. Showcasing the research of postgraduates and ECRs both from the North West and from those interested in supporting Medieval Studies in the North West.

 The symposium draws together scholars working on history, archaeology, art history, literature, and musicology. As well as ranging geographically from the sagas of Iceland to Polish saint’s lives; and chronologically from dark age British stone sculptures to the life records of a 15th century chronicler, as well as taking us into the present day to reflect on the afterlives of the Middle Ages through the work of Tolkien.

The symposium will take place in Chetham’s Library in Manchester and will feature an encounter with some of the library’s archival collections as well as lunch and snacks.
