The Roundtable, organized by the Medieval Studies Graduate Association (MSGA), is a place for graduate students to workshop their projects and a community space where everyone's voice and presence are valued whether or not they have expertise on the topic being presented. It is both a space for graduate students to receive feedback on their works in progress and an opportunity for faculty and graduate students to learn more about the wide range of specialties represented in the medievalist community at Cornell.
The Roundtable will meet this semester on select Wednesdays from 5:00 - 6:30pm in Olin Library 703.
- September 23rd: Chiara Visentin, "Making the Bible Courtly: Twelfth-Century French Biblical Translations and Emerging Noble Identities"

- November 11th: Hunter Phillips, "Abandoning the Hunt: Grief and its Environmental Excess in The Squire of Low Degree and The Alliterative Morte Arthure"
