Hosted by the Centre for medieval and Renaissance Studies at the University of Southampton, this study day responds to the emerging interest in global histories and questions of cross-cultural interaction and exchange that has energized the fields of Medieval and Early Modern studies in recent years. The study day brings together work across disciplines that explores the conditions, processes, and effects of cross-cultural and cross-linguistic contacts in the Medieval and Early Modern World. It also includes a round table on 'the challenge of languages' engaging with a range of scholars with different experiences, using medieval/ancient languages in different ways in their research to talk about these challenges.

The Study Day features a Keynote Lecture from Prof Verena Krebs (Ruhr-Universität, Bochum) and will conclude with the Reuter Lecture, which will be co-sponsored by the Parkes Institute and delivered by Prof. Irven M. Resnick (University of Tennessee, Chattanooga)
