In celebration of the Twentieth Anniversary of the Crusade Studies Forum, the Sixth Symposium on Crusade Studies (April 10-11, 2026) hosted by Saint Louis University will take place on its Missouri campus in St. Louis, MO. Meeting in the vibrant city on the Mississippi River, the Symposium offers scholars the opportunity to present research, visit cultural locations, and engage in historical discussion.
