Book Colloquium: “The Sleep of Behemoth”

Please join us for a MEMS book colloquium discussing Jehangir Malegam’s Sleep of Behemoth: Disputing Peace and Violence in Medieval Europe. The author as well as Professor Bjorn Weiler (Aberystwyth University, Wales) will be joining us for a round-table discussion of Malegam’s book that explores conflicting concepts of peace in Western Europe during the High Middle Ages (1000-1200), which Malegam ties to well known and important events such as the Peace of God, the Investiture Controversy, and the emergence of communal self-governance, among other phenomena.

Location: Hyde Hall, University Room

Lunch will be served; please RSVP to Brett Whalen (bwhalen@email.unc.edu)
