Seminar, Tuesday 11th December AND end of term party

Our next Historical Research Seminar will take place this coming Tuesday (11th), as usual in room 3.16 of the Arts II building. The papers will start at 5.30pm, and we'll finish a little earlier than usual, at 6.45.

That's because immediately afterwards we'll be transferring upstairs to the Senior Common Room for end of term/christmas celebrations - for staff and postgraduates. Will be wine, nibbles and cheesy music aplenty!

Our two presenters and their abstracts: 

Dr James Ryan, University of Warwick
Violence and the Sacred: the case of the Bolsheviks in early Soviet Terror

Stephen Spencer, QMUL
The Emotional Rhetoric of Crusader Spirituality in the Narratives of the First Crusade
