NEMUS at the Leeds IMC

The Network has had its first public event: a scholarly rendez-vous at the Leeds International Medieval Congress. This was the first edition of Crossing the Branches in Environmental Medieval Studies, an interdisiplinary initiative around a given topic. At this time, attention was gathered around the topic “Living alongside Beasts in Medieval Portugal”. Two papers were delivered offering different angles on the medieval wolf, enlivened by rich discussion among those present (online and on site).

Details of the session as follows.
