ISSEME
July 2025 – Düsseldorf

Inaugural workshop
23rd-24th September 2024 – St John’s College, Oxford
Our first workshop featured 15 thoughtful papers on topics ranging from disabilities in early medieval texts to accounts of conjugal violence across historical records. Our delegates collaborated in thoughtful discussion about the tangle of problems faced by researchers of such topics not just in medieval studies but beyond. We were especially thrilled to welcome Professor Corinne Saunders (University of Durham) as our keynote speaker.
