The Anglo-Saxon Studies Colloquium aims to
foster intellectual exchange among faculty and graduate students whose
interests embrace the language, literature, and culture of early
medieval England. Currently based in Columbia, New York University, the University of Rhode Island,
Rutgers, UC Berkeley, and King's College London, the Colloquium seeks to expand the resources available to
Anglo-Saxonists from these universities and other institutions in the
area, and also to create a welcoming intellectual community for anyone
who is interested in Anglo-Saxon studies.
