About the project

Rethinking Reform 900-1150: Conceptualising Change in Medieval Religious Institutions is a project funded for 3 years (2016-19) by the Leverhulme Trust International Network and brings together medieval scholars from across Europe. The now universal label ‘reform’ is a modern creation going back to c.1800 and one which conceals more than it reveals. Central to the project is consideration of the question: How should we conceptualise the programme of institutional changes which swept the Western church 900-1150?
The project, coordinated by the University of Leeds, will host 4 one-day workshops exploring different interconnected themes at sites across Europe (Mainz, Leuven, York and Leeds) and culminates in a 2-day conference at the University of Ghent in 2019.
The Languages of Reform, hosted by the University of York, is the first of these workshops, where we hope to provoke and inspire thinking about the subject in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Presentations from the invited medievalists will be followed by regular opportunities for discussion amongst all participants. The event will conclude with an informal drinks reception at the King’s Manor.
