California Medieval History Seminar

Professors Piotr Gorecki and Pat Geary.CMRS Associates, Professor Piotr Górecki (History, UC Riverside), left, and Professor Patrick Geary (History, UCLA), right, have both been active participants in the California Medieval History Seminar since its inception. The other pictures show the conferees meeting around the conference table in the Overseer's Room at the Huntington Libarary where the quarterly seminars are held.

The California Medieval History Seminar fosters intellectual exchange and acquaints its participants with medieval historical research currently underway in the state. Three times a year, the seminar gathers at the Huntington Library to discuss four research papers (two by faculty members, two by graduate students or recent Ph.D. recipients).

This funding has made it possible to bring a noted medieval historian each year to participate in one of the sessions: Robert Ian Moore (Oxford University) in 2004, Chris Wickham (University of Birmingham) in 2005, and Gadi Algazi (Tel Aviv University) in 2006.

Advance registration for the seminar meetings is required. Papers are sent to registrants before the meeting so they may read the papers in advance and discuss them at the seminar.

Speakers and paper topics are announced by email. To be added to the announcement list, contact the Center at cmrs@humnet.ucla.edu.
