“What Would NZD Do?”: Natalie Zemon Davis and Medieval History
Day 1 | Session 3A (Roundtable) | June 12 1:30-3pm
Although trained as an early modern French historian, Davis frequently encouraged scholars to rethink the traditional chronological and geographical boundaries of history. Generations of medievalists, particularly those interested in social and gender history, have been deeply influenced by her work. This roundtable considers that influence, highlighting not only her impact on the work of these scholars but also how she has shaped the field of medieval history.
