Medieval and Early Modern Studies Research Group

Interpreting and Representing the Medieval Past

The Medieval and Early Modern Studies Research Group brings together academics, archivists, librarians, postgraduate students, and postdoctoral researchers with interdisciplinary interests both in the medieval period itself and in the later interpretation and representation of the pre-modern past. We have a strong relationship with the wider scholarly and professional community including Lincoln Cathedral Library and Archives, with whom we collaborate in our teaching and research. Key themes include: premodern Iberia and the Western Mediterranean; Lincoln, Britain and the North Atlantic; gender and identity, society and culture; inter-faith exchanges and religion; and archives, heritage, and medievalism.

We foster academic links within and beyond the University of Lincoln through hosting external speakers; organizing the annual Lincoln medieval lecture and ‘Medieval and Eraly Modern Week’; hosting international conferences; and contributing to national and international research networks and projects. Our research group's news can be followed on our blog. As a research group, we edit Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Studies, published by ARC Humanities Press. Read our open access special issue, Lincoln Readings of Texts, Materials, and Contexts.
