Doing Medieval Together: Building Community in Nontraditional VenuesÂ
February 10th, 8pm EST on zoom
In this event, panelists will discuss various ways they are breaking down the walls between the academy and the community. From listening to and living in communities with Native Hawaiian cultural practitioners to engaging with the local medieval enthusiasts of Oklahoma, from pop culture conventions to K-12 classrooms, from digital resources to physical interactions, we will explore partnerships, public programming, and the ways we can all learn from each other.
