Medieval Economic and Social History

Seminar or event series

Cambridge has a strong tradition in the economic and social history of the middle ages, and this seminar has long been at the heart of it. While its focus remains the history of the British Isles, the seminar has recently begun to expand its geographical scope to feature work on the economies and societies of continental Europe and beyond.

This seminar does not run in Michaelmas Term. It participates in the Core seminar in economic and social history

The support of the Trevelyan Fund (Faculty of History) is gratefully acknowledged.
