The Standing Committee on Medieval Studies exists in order to promote and coordinate teaching and scholarship on medieval Europe and the Near East throughout the University, including Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, D.C. As a program committee within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, it mounts a number of undergraduate and graduate courses each year, and coordinates a Secondary Field in Medieval Studies for PhD students and a Secondary Field in Medieval Studies for undergraduates. Although Harvard offers no PhD specifically in Medieval Studies, the committee has the authority to administer interdisciplinary PhDs in liaison with a regular departmental program. Working in cooperation with the graduate student Medieval Society, it also sponsors events and activities of interest to medievalists. Among these are the frequent meetings of the Medieval Studies Seminar on Monday afternoons, an occasional series of Special Seminars and conferences in Medieval Studies, the twice-yearly receptions for medievalists throughout the Boston area, and a graduate student Workshop in Medieval Studies. The committee has the further responsibility of fostering the Medieval Studies Library in Widener D. Its electronic mailing list is the most comprehensive guide to late antique, medieval, and Byzantine events at Harvard University and in the Boston area generally.

Specific questions concerning Medieval Studies on either the undergraduate or the graduate level and requests for the pamphlet on Medieval Studies and the annual list of courses on medieval topics should be addressed to the Chairman of the Committee, Robinson Hall 201.
