    Please come tomorrow at 7pm EST to hear about the many ways one can be a medievalist!

    Join the MAA Graduate Student Committee on March 30th, 2022 at 7 pm EST for a panel on employment for medievalists outside of what we traditionally envision as the "academy" (university-based research and teaching). From grant writing and archival management to secondary education and academic publishing, our participants represent a wide range of experience levels and professional opportunities. In this conversation moderated by leading independent scholar Laura Morreale, panelists will share their pathways from their PhD to their current position, followed by a live Q and A with questions submitted by our audience. We hope you can join us! Panelists include: Dr. Jennifer Speed, Research Development Strategist at Princeton University Dr. Anna Siebach-Larson, Director, Rossell Hope Robbins Library and Koller-Collins Center for English Studies at the University of Rochester Dr. Ross Karlan, World Languages Educator at Geffen Academy Dr. Rachel Ruisard, Project Editor at Oxford U Press

    Otra obra de un 'experto' que fomenta la idea del seudo-mito de la 'conquista pacífica' de la Península por los musulmanes. Significativamente, no se explica cuándo ni dónde se ha divulgado ese supuesto mito.
