The Medieval Forum

Please join us on November 3, 6-8pm, in 301 Silver Center, for a talk by Emily Steiner!

"...the ways that many present-day Americans are pushing back on modern living arrangements closely resemble what came centuries, even millennia, before in other parts of the world. Family members, relatives, neighbors, and strangers are coming together to live in groups that work for them—a bit like medieval Europe. "

The Hot New Millennial Housing Trend Is a Repeat of the Middle Ages Communal living is hardly a departure from tradition—it's a return to how humans have been making their homes for thousands of years.

Please join the Medieval Forum on Wednesday, October 12, from 6-8pm for a lecture by Robert Davis from Fordham University's Theology Department!
