The Crusade Studies Forum is proud to sponsor three sessions at this year’s Symposium for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, hosted right here at Saint Louis University. These panels bring together scholars from around the world, showcasing the latest research in crusade history and the military orders. They also highlight the important contributions being made by researchers at Saint Louis University in these fields.
The Twelfth Annual Symposium on Medieval and Renaissance Studies will take place from June 9-11, 2025, at Saint Louis University, in St. Louis, MO. The Crusade Studies Forum at SLU invites proposals for scholarly papers related to the memory of the crusades and the Kingdom of Jerusalem in texts, images, and liturgies. Papers will be twenty minutes each in three sessions scheduled for ninety minutes.
