The
CAMS Bi-Weekly Discussion Group
The Discussion
Group is intended to provide a forum where all medievalists
at the University and beyond, both students and faculty,
can discuss ideas relevant to our field. All topics are
welcome, though we try to pick readings relevant to members'
current projects or upcoming exams. Readings will be chosen
as follows: every willing member will be put on a sequential
list to choose the reading for the next session. At each
meeting, the next person on the list should submit their
reading, which will be accepted without vote, adherent to
the following stipulations:
- The reading should pertain the European Middle Ages,
defined as the period from the late Roman Empire (c. 300
CE) to the Reformation (c. 1500 CE), or it must be approved
by a vote.
- The reading should be 30 pages or less, or it must
be approved by a 2/3 majority vote.
Anyone has a right to waive their turn, but they are then
put at the bottom of the list. Those members who pick readings
are responsible for disseminating it to other members of
the group in plenty of time for the next meeting in one
of the following ways:
- Copy the reading and distribute it to the members
- Put it on reserve in the undergraduate library
- Leave several copies in an easily accessible place
where others can come and copy it
In all cases, the person choosing the reading should promptly
notify the group via the listserv how they should obtain
the reading.
