About the Series

Premodern Connections is a home base for the many at BC who study the premodern deeply, and for the many more who are simply drawn to it.

Boston College is home to an extraordinary concentration of premodern expertise — scholars, students, and staff whose work spans the centuries before 1800. That expertise threads through nearly every corner of the university: the McMullen Museum and Burns Library, English, History, and Law, Music and Theology, Romance Languages, Art History, and Classics. Premodern Connections aims to weave us together a little more tautly, providing a series of events at which we can see old friends, meet new ones, and share work more or less informally!
