ABOUT THE INSTITUTE FOR MEDIEVAL STUDIES

The University of New Mexico offers a variety of Medieval Studies programs dedicated to university and civic outreach, as well as to the enrichment of scholarship, teaching, and research in the civilizations of medieval Europe and its neighbors from 500-1500. Through undergraduate and graduate degree programs, special student opportunities, and advanced research activities, UNM's Medieval Studies programs are committed to furthering the transmission and preservation of our rich heritage from the Middle Ages. Our programs operate under the philosophy that the study of medieval culture provides a powerful vantage point from which to evaluate our own and other cultures and to reflect on the complexity of human behavior and institutions.



These programs are directed by UNM's Institute for Medieval Studies (IMS), an administrative unit which promotes the University of New Mexico as a major research institution in the humanities and as the central intellectual resource for its civic community. Its special mission is to promote excellence in the secondary schools. To this end, it has developed an Outreach Program to the Secondary Schools, which has been nationally and internationally recognized for its efforts to advance the study of the Middle Ages in secondary school curricula. The Institute is dedicated to furthering interdisciplinary and multicultural work by challenging the conventional separation of existing intellectual disciplines and by offering the broadest possible approach to research in the humanities.
