Rural Space in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Age
Older research on the premodern world limited its focus on the Church, the court, and, more recently, on urban space.

The Crusades and Nature
The Crusades and Nature: Natural and Supernatural Environments in the Middle Ages explores the intersection of crusader studies and studies of nature.

Finally, this project investigates the relationships between the natural and the supernatural and between nature and human-made environments. The volume will define “crusades” broadly, to include not only crusades to the East, but also crusades to frontier regions such as the Baltic and Iberian peninsula and extends to representations of crusades and nature in later medieval and early modern sources.
