Medieval
and Early Modern Studies (MEMS)
Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS) at UF is an interdisciplinary
forum for the study of medieval and early modern European culture and
its influences on the modern world. This approach addresses the distinctive
forms of cultural organization in the Middle Ages and Early Modern periods;
the study necessarily crosses departmental boundaries.
