ABOUT
The Cambridge Medieval Literature and Culture Seminar (CamMedSem) is an open space for scholars from Cambridge, the UK, and beyond to present their papers, followed by discussion.
The scope of CamMedSem is the study of medieval literature, linguistics, culture, music, philosophy, religion and art. This year, we aim to render the seminar even more comparative, considering the possible applications of modern critical theory to the Middle Ages.
Take a look at our schedule for our exciting line-up of speakers, sign up to our events, follow us on social media, and feel free to contact us for more information.
We look forward to seeing you!
