The team from The Multicultural Middle Ages Podcast is pleased to share our latest Speculum Spotlight episode with you, covering the centennial issue of Speculum, Speculations, edited by Mohamad Ballan, Cecily Hilsdale, Katherine L. Jansen, Sierra Lomuto, and Peggy McCracken.
In this episode we sit down with the five editors of Speculations, the centennial issue of Speculum: A Journal of Medieval Studies. Comprised of 60 short essays that speculate about the possible futures of medieval studies, this issue represents an attempt to disrupt disciplinarity by foregrounding perspectives, methodologies, and geographies from a variety of fields from medieval studies. Born from the understanding that the future of medieval studies depends on imagination and experimentation, this issue is a collaborative attempt to mark the passing of time and open the field to a broader appeal. The short essays in this issue are an invitation to think together and reinvigorate conversations about our discipline. Join us as we reflect on the past and present of medieval studies, and as we speculate about the possible futures for our field.
