Concordia University

Abstract

At Concordia University, Montréal, matters from the period called the Middle Ages are investigated and taught through a variety of disciplines. A Concordia B.A. thus provides excellent preparation for a student interested in medieval matters. There are large and viable programs in Classical Greek and Latin and in modern languages. Engaged researchers regularly offer courses on medieval subjects within programs that give training in the disciplines of theology, religious studies, philosophy, history, political thought, literary interpretation, fine arts, and art history. These disciplines permit familiarity with the questions and discourses of research that will open out new approaches to old materials, such as we have seen with enquiries of gender theory, methods of interpretation, memorialisation, or representation. Within some disciplines, then, it is possible to pursue advanced studies, with a possible thesis option for an M.A., and with a Ph.D. in History or an individual interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Humanities.
