U of A Info Sessions: The Contest
for Criseyde & Medieval England: November 18. The heralds have arrived with
tidings that homemade cookies are nigh!
Also, there will be back-to-back information meetings to discuss two
study-abroad opportunities during the summer of 2014. Meredith McKee from the Study-Abroad Office
and Professor Bill Quinn (Department of English) will be there to describe both
programs in as much detail as possible and answer all questions that we
can. Lindsey Zachary will join us to
discuss the England trip (and there may be special guests). And there will be
cookies!
Starting
at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, November 18, in Old Main 421, we will discuss the
course titled “The Contest for Criseyde” (three credit hours) which will be
taught at the University of Arkansas Rome Center during the May
Intersession. It will be an intense
study for advanced credit of a very sad (though sexy) story as told by Boccaccio,
Chaucer and Shakespeare among others.
Starting
at 4:30 p.m., we will discuss the two courses (six credit hours) on “Medieval
England” to be taught in England at the University of Durham and at the
University of London. This will be a
five-week interdisciplinary introduction to all things medieval with lots of
site visits. Join the few, the proud,
the medievalists.

development? Join us on Monday, Nov. 18,
