Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Culture (CMRC)

We are a vibrant community of researchers composed of four departments of the School of Humanities (Archaeology, English, History and Music) who promote an interdisciplinary perspective on medieval and Renaissance studies.

Our main activity, as a centre, revolves around the organisation of interdisciplinary study days, conferences and the Reuter lecture. Our annual interdisciplinary study day offers us a great opportunity to share our thoughts, research, and different angles on a chosen topic.

This interdisciplinary project, titled English Merchant Shipping, Maritime Communities, and Trade from the Spanish Armada to the Seven Years War, circa 1588 to circa 1765, will chart the growth of England's emergence as a global trading nation, challenging pre-existing notions of how and why the nation's maritime empire emerged as it did.
