Participants in the De-centering the Global Middle Ages symposium were required to create brief bibliographies (5-10 entries) on resources related to their lightning talks or research presentations with the goal of contributing to the development of a canon of literature on the global Middle Ages and providing resources able to be used in research and teaching. Below, you will find these bibliographies, which also include the abstracts for each paper. These materials are provided in the order of their presentation in the symposium program.
