The Committee for Medieval Studies at the University of British Columbia welcomes you to the 39th Annual UBC Medieval Workshop, to be held from Thursday the 14th through Saturday the 16th of October 2010.

The workshop's papers deal with a range of aspects of ‘quest and conquest’ and engage with the continuities and differences in the way in which myths and symbols of the spiritual quest and/or conquest ‘travel’, in all forms of expression and exchange, throughout the Medieval Indo-Mediterranean and European worlds.

The conference will be held at Green College, one of the UBC graduate residences, nestled on a forested cliff overlooking ocean and mountains at the edge of our campus in Vancouver, Canada.
