Medieval Studies Graduate Colloquium

The UC Berkeley Program in Medieval Studies is proud to announce a new series:

The colloquia will be held once a month, and will feature the work-in-progress of graduate students and faculty in the Medieval Studies Program. 

The colloquia are designed to maximize audience participation, and each presenter will make available in advance the work to be discussed so that the colloquium isn't a primarily a listening experience but rather an on-going conversation.  This will be posted in the resources section of the b-Space for the Medieval Studies Graduate Colloquium approximately 10 days before the event. 

    Please mark your calendars for the following dates:

        Wednesday, 15 September, 5-7 p.m.        Presenter:  Steven Justice
        Wednesday, 13 October, 5-7 p.m.            Presenter: Matthew Sergi
        Wednesday, 17 November, 5-7 p.m.         Presenter, Kathryn Jasper
        Wednesday, 8 December, 5-7 p.m.           Presenter, Scott Millspaugh

The Department of English has kindly allowed us to use the department's comfortable lounge (Wheeler Hall 330) for these presentations.

All graduate students enrolled in the Medieval Studies Program have already been added to the b-Space site for the Colloquium. If you have not been notified of membership in your b-Space account and would like to be added, please contact Dr. Katherine O'Brien O'Keeffe ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

A dose of medieval . . .

‘Talis,’ inquiens, ‘mihi uidetur, rex, uita hominum praesens in terris, ad conparationem eius, quod nobis incertum est, temporis, quale cum te residente ad caenam cum ducibus ac ministris tuis tempore brumali, accenso quidem foco in medio, et calido effecto caenaculo, furentibus autem foris per omnia turbinibus hiemalium pluuiarum uel niuium, adueniens unus passeium domum citissime peruolauerit; qui cum per unum ostium ingrediens, mox per aliud exierit. Ipso quidem tempore, quo intus est, hiemis tempestate non tangitur, sed tamen paruissimo spatio serenitatis ad momentum excurso, mox de hieme in hiemem regrediens, tuis oculis elabitur. Ita haec uita hominum ad modicum apparet; quid autem sequatur, quidue praecesserit, prorsus ignoramus. Unde si haec noua doctrina certius aliquid attulit, merito esse sequenda uidetur.’

One of King Edwin's advisers describes a sparrow flying through the hall.

Bede, Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum, II.13
