"Disability in the Middle Ages: Five Brief Histories" by Leah Parker, Dept of English
December 19th, 7:00pm
This talk will survey the study of disability in the Middle Ages, touring through five perspectives on medieval disability history: politics, medicine, religion, art, and poetry. For each of these, a case study will model the extent of what historians of disability know and how we approach the study of disability in ways that are both responsive to contemporary disability communities and historically and culturally situated in the medieval past.
