Upcoming Collegium Text Textile Texture

The third Text Technologies Collegium on Text, Textile, Texture, will be co-hosted by Profesor Kathryn Starkey, Medievalist and Chair of German Studies. Invited speakers include Gale Owen-Crocker, Jane Schulenberg, Maren Clegg Hyer, Greg Walker, Jayne Carroll, Chet van Duzer, Maureen Miller, Stephanie Sieberg, David Ganz, Orietta Da Rold, Warren Woofdin, Ronald Egan, and Bettina Bildhauer.

Over two days of good company and intellectual exchange, we'll investigate the following questions:

  • How are we to make sense of this relationship between texts and textiles?
  • What role do substrates play in the way we understand texts and textiles?
  • What new interpretive possibilities open up when we view cultural artifacts through the nexus of texts and textiles
