• POST-GRAD FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITY: Do you know any scholars 0-8 years out from PhD working on medieval women, monastic cultures (esp. Syon Abbey), Middle English religious literature, or visionary or mystical texts who might want a 2-3 year fellowship based UiB with Laura Saetveit Miles as mentor? EU-funded MSCA Fellowships are an excellent (though competitive) opportunity for a well-funded post-doc project. Please contact laura.miles@uib.no and to discuss the fellowship call, work to develop a proposal and be ready for the September deadline. https://marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/calls/msca-postdoctoral-fellowships-2024?fbclid=IwAR3mlXNOO-iOVV1LUD4UVBn6RFRNw_cg8hNrxGEKJ8qw8VEVcByx8scxXwU_aem_AanjMX-drEYDO7UHYF7Nk4mdhXpZMC9NYZEUfA6K3WynIE2PcVEHqRvZ0Bsgs1RcjC4
