News and Announcements

    The editors of The Year’s Work in Medievalism are delighted to announce the publication of volume 35.36 (2020-2021), a double issue. YWiM is the ISSM’s own peer-reviewed open access scholarly journal. The new volume volume represents work completed during the COVID-19 lockdown years, and so YWiM 35.36 contains: a pedagogy cluster; articles that discuss form, media, and medievalism; and a posthumous article by Alicia McKenzie (1976-2022), which we hope serves as a lasting memorial to her life and work.

    We encourage you to visit https://ywim.net/ to read and enjoy innovative medievalism scholarship. We hope that this Table of Contents serves as a thrilling preview of the volume:

    The Medieval Studies Research Group (MSRG) at my institution (the University of Lincoln, UK) has recently secured funding for three new doctoral posts as graduate teaching fellows. They are for four years of study, fully funded, with teaching built into the programme, and they are framed around three core areas under the umbrella of Transcending Boundaries in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages’. The three strands have flexibility, and projects on Arthuriana and/or medievalism are featured in the third stream especially. If anyone has any questions or would like to chat about this opportunity, please contact Dr. Renée Ward (rward@lincoln.ac.uk).
