Currently working on a number of projects that share a common set of questions, Christopher MacEvitt will discuss religious dynamics across the medieval Mediterranean. Central to his work is the impact of the crusades on the religious communities of Palestine and Syria, and his current projects seek to understand how the end of the crusades affected the perception of the Holy Land, Islam, and providential history among both Eastern and Western Christians.

MacEvitt is the ACLS/Frederick Burkhardt Residential Fellow at the American Academy in Rome and associate professor of religion at Dartmouth College. You can watch this event live at https://livestream.com/aarome.
