Started in 1994, the University of Chicago’s Medieval Studies Workshop brings together faculty and graduate students from the University and from the wider Chicago community. The workshop is free and open to the public, and we encourage new attendees to join us. We are dedicated to fostering a respectful space for intellectual exchange.

The Medieval Studies Workshop sponsors presentations by graduate students, faculty, and visiting scholars each academic year. Our members come from a wide variety of disciplines including Art History, English, Divinity, History, Music, Linguistics, Romance and Germanic Languages and Literatures, South Asian Literatures and Civilizations, and Middle Eastern Studies.

The Medieval Studies Workshop has been supported by a generous gift from Faizal Syed, MBA ’93.
