Graduate Field Committee in Medieval and Early Modern Studies

The Graduate Field Committee in Medieval and Early Modern Studies is an interdisciplinary group of faculty and graduate students in the departments of Art History, Communications, English, History and the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, the School of Music, and the School of Theater, Dance and Performance Studies.

The University of Maryland's Graduate School Field Committee in Medieval and Early Modern Studies, sponsored by the Departments of English and History, is an interdisciplinary group of faculty and graduate students in art history, communications, English, history, languages, music and theatre. We have come together to foster the thickest and most expansive collaborative exploration in the medieval and early modern periods. This formal structure for such collaboration will provide graduate students with a better, broader education and will foster interdisciplinary thinking, a greater diversity and originality of approach and collegiality. As dissertation projects become increasingly multi-disciplinary in scope, students’ preparation will be better served by the interconnected network of disciplines that our members will facilitate.
