April 19, 2023
During this year’s Helen Damico Memorial Lecture series hosted by the Institute for Medieval Studies at The University of New Mexico, speakers will examine the many myths and misconceptions about the roles that women played during the Middle Ages.
The third annual Helen Damico Memorial Lecture Series, which is the 37th edition of the IMS Spring Lecture Series, founded by Damico at UNM, will be from Monday-Thursday, April 24-27, at 6 p.m. at Woodward Hall 101. This event is free and open to the public. Paid parking is available in the Cornell Parking Structure at Central and Stanford Avenues.
This four-day event is centered this year on the topic Medieval Women. The Institute continues to honor Damico with this topic as she was a forerunner in the scholarship of women from medieval history and fiction. Four of the country’s leading medieval scholars will offer presentations that span the fields of art history, literature, history, law, and medicine.
