Join us for a free virtual lecture series hosted on Zoom and led by esteemed University of Oklahoma professors!
The pandemic may have knocked us back for one semester, but medievalists don’t give up easily! We are happy to return with an array of our greatest hits, plus a special panel discussion on the Black Death.
Join three OU professors as they discuss the causes and impact of the medieval plague known as the Black Death.
Professor Sullivan will share his experience walking the Camino de Santiago, also known as the "Way of Saint James."
Dr. Panxhi will discuss the origin stories of medieval werewolves.
The first zoom lecture will be held on Friday, Jan. 29, and will explore how Tolkien built the Middle Earth out of his own fascination with language and medieval texts and history – mixed with his personal experiences fighting on the Somme in World War I.
