The Multicultural Middle Ages Podcast brings together medievalists from all professional and disciplinary tracks to think and talk about the diversity of the Middle Ages. We offer public-facing, open access content directed at experts and non-experts alike to present updated, accurate, and culturally responsible accounts of the plurality of the medieval period.
Series producers: Will Beattie, Jonathan F. Correa Reyes, Loren Easterday Lee Cantrell, Reed O'Mara, and Logan Quigley.
Our podcast is made possible by our partnership with the Graduate Student Committee of the Medieval Academy of America. Our Speculum Spotlight series is produced in partnership with Speculum: A Journal of Medieval Studies.
