The Oxford Centres for Global History, Intellectual History, Women’s, Gender, Identity and Queer History, and the History of Science and Medicine often feature lectures and conferences on medieval topics (https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/research-centres), and the University has a lively community of medievalists, linked together by the interdisciplinary forum for Medieval Studies (https://medieval.ox.ac.uk/).
