KU Leuven Colloquia in Medieval Philosophy

[ISHPSS]

From: Zita Toth <zita...@KULEUVEN.BE>

KUL-CoMP, Spring 2022

The KU Leuven Colloquia in Medieval Philosophy is a hybrid forum that aims to foster networking and collaboration especially among early-career scholars in medieval philosophy. 

The seminar meets once a month, in a hybrid format (on Zoom as well as in person at KU Leuven) to discuss a pre-read paper, in any area of medieval thought (roughly in the time period between 500–1700, East or West). Presenters give a brief, 10-minute summary, usually supplying the readers with some context of the paper, after which we devote the remaining time to discussion and general feedback.

If interested in participating either in person or via Zoom, please send an email or fill out the contact form on the website.
