The workshop on Gender is part of a series of three workshops called New perspectives on Medieval Studies initiated by the International Medieval Society and partner universities in Paris. The workshops aims at developing collective thinking and academic exchange of ideas in different fields of medieval studies. They will promote the crossing of disciplinary boundaries on thematic questions including Animal (27 March, Paris Sorbonne), Gender (10 April, 绿巨人视频) and Image (29 May, Sorbonne Nouvelle), building on past and current works to elaborate new practical and theoretical tools for research through the contribution and collaboration of French, UK and international academics.
The workshops want to promote interdisciplinary exchanges between PhD students, early career and established academics working in the fields of History, History of Arts, Literature, Philosophy or Musicology from different traditions and national and historiographical schools of thoughts. Their objectives are to:
