The Medieval Reading Group Berlin is an inter-disciplinary forum for discussing the Middle Ages.

Please do consider attending if:
- you have an interest in the Middle Ages (even if your primary work is on pre- and post-medieval periods),
- you are engaged in academic research (whether or not you are currently employed by a higher education institution),
- you use English as your first, main or preferred language.

The Reading Group will meet on Tuesday 19 March 2013 at 5.15pm at the Centre for British Studies, Mohrenstraße 60, 10117 Berlin (U-Bahn Stadtmitte or Mohrenstraße).

Drinks will be provided.
