Every month, we’ll be spotlighting two MAA Centennial Grant Projects. These twenty-one projects span the continent and reflect some of the best that Medieval Studies has to offer. We are so pleased to be able to support these symposia, performances, and digital initiatives as part of our Centennial celebrations.
Virtual Medieval Books in the Schools, University of Minnesota (PI: Michelle Hamilton). With this funding, the Center for Premodern Studies at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities will be able to continue development of online resources to complement their in-person K-12 classroom presentations on the history of the book in the Middle Ages. The Medieval Book in the Schools classroom program has been running successfully for almost twenty years (initiated by Professor Susan Noakes in 2005). Primarily a program for elementary school students, program has recently expanded to include high school and undergraduate students. The MAA is pleased to be able to support this important programming.
