Founded in 1970, the London Society for Medieval Studies (LSMS) seeks to foster knowledge of and dialogue about the Middle Ages among scholars, students, and the wider public. Our conception of “the medieval” is global, c. 500 – c. 1500.
Based in London and organised by a committee of postgraduates and early career academics, the Society’s mission is fourfold:
- to showcase the latest scholarship in all areas of medieval studies including, but not limited to, history, literature, art, archaeology, theology, philosophy, and economics;
- to champion the work of fellow postgraduate and early career researchers;
- to foreground and promote scholarship on underrepresented subjects and by scholars historically marginalised in the field;
- and to explore the critical and creative possibilities of collaboration and multi-/interdisciplinary work, recognising the productive intersections between academic, artistic, and public history practices.
All are welcome.
