Join us for an informal and illuminating discussion of three important books published in the past year by our faculty affiliates Claudia Brosseder, Eric Calderwood, and David Cooper. These books -- Inka Bird Idiom: Amazonian Feathers in The Andes * On Earth and in Poems: The Many Lives of Al-Andalus * The Czech Manuscripts: Forgery, Translation, and National Myth -- offer new perspectives on the medieval past and its modern interpretation in three different regions of the world using different sources: feathers, forgeries, and poetics. This is an opportunity to hear these scholars reflect on their work, the research process, and the broader questions they seek to answer.
