| Long abstract | My colleagues who work in theatre have taught me my new favorite word: collaboration. Being the lone medievalist in my field at a small liberal arts college, I’ve learned to work on active collaborations with friends in fields outside medieval studies. We can meld our approaches into a process that works for both of us, since collaboration primarily requires working together closely to create a finished product. Starting from the same background knowledge does not matter. Coming together over shared materials — while appreciating my colleagues’ distinct approaches and methodologies — has reinvigorated my teach-ing and research, making possible different class projects, better class discussions, new research initiatives, and new classes and co-curricular opportunities. |
