an absolute joy to chat with Natalie about my research - i chat problems with discourse, representation in texts and approaching the use of codicological study in detangling race and race making … all fun things (to me)

It was a joy and so illuminating to speak with Georgie Anderson about her research into how race functioned in medieval Europe. Among other things, we discussed how ideas about race were disseminated and digested in the medieval world and what role chivalric texts played.
