Aims & Scope

medieval worlds provides a new forum for interdisciplinary and transcultural studies of the Middle Ages. It specifically encourages and links comparative research between different regions and fields and promotes methodological innovation in transdisciplinary studies. Focusing on the Middle Ages, i.e. the period between 400 and 1500 CE, to be extended whenever thematically fruitful or appropriate, medieval worlds takes a global approach to studying history in a comparative setting.

medieval worlds is open to regular submissions on comparative topics, but also offers the possibility to propose or advertise subjects that lend themselves to comparison. With a view to connecting people working on related topics in different academic environments, we publish calls for matching articles and for contributions on thematic issues.
