Northern Network for the Study of the Crusades
Fourth Annual Symposium: The Crusades: Borders, Margins, Interfaces
Friday 28th Feb 2020, Nottingham Trent University
The NNSC links together scholars working on all aspects of the Crusades in the Midlands and the North of England. This one-day symposium offers a combination of paper presentations and a round table from established and early career scholars, as well as postgraduates. It will explore crusading and related activities from the eleventh to fifteenth centuries from a range of perspectives. A special emphasis has been placed on the theory and practice of Borders, Margins, and Interfaces in all of their variety as they relate to the history of the crusades and associated fields of enquiry. Attendance is free of charge, but you must register in advance in order to attend.
