Long abstractHi. Are you a Lone Medievalist?This volume is a sequel, of sorts, to an ongoing series of round tables at the International Congress on Medieval Stud-ies held at Western Michigan University, beginning in 2015. The impetus for those sessions, and for this book, is the sense of isolation many medieval scholars feel in their professional lives. Often the only scholar of the period in their departments, their universities, or their surrounding area, medievalists can find it challenging to advocate for their work and field. The problem is only more pronounced for the medievalist in an adjunct teach-ing position or without an institutional position at all. When we work alone among colleagues, teach mostly (or entirely) outside our specializations, and compete with “more easily” understood or well-funded research, it is easy to feel disconnected from the larger discipline of medieval studies. Our scholarly production slows or ceases. Our language skills atrophy. Our knowledge os-sifies. Soon, even attending a conference of fellow medievalists can feel isolating. Surrounded by scholars with greater institu-tional support, lower teaching loads, or more robust research agendas, we may feel alienated from the field we love — the work to which we’ve dedicated our careers.
