ACMRS Distinguished
Lecture Series in Medieval
and Renaissance Studies
In the spring of 1999, ACMRS established its Distinguished Lecture Series in Medieval and Renaissance Studies. Each semester, the Center brings one eminent scholar to ASU for a few days to present a free public lecture, followed by a complimentary reception. While at ASU, Distinguished Lecturers interact with upper-division and/or graduate classes and meet informally with students and faculty. Often, ACMRS is also able to arrange stops at the University of Arizona in Tucson and Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff.
