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. Based in Columbia, New York University,
Princeton, and Rutgers, 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.
In this inaugural year, the Colloquium hosted two lectures
in late 2004 and has scheduled 3 lectures and 2 workshops
for winter/spring 2005:
