Meeting in the Middle Ages is the Medieval Institute of Notre Dame's podcast. Our goal is to answer the questions "what do medievalists do, and how do they do it?" Episodes—a new one each month—are built around informal conversations between our hosts, Ben and Will, and medievalist scholars and graduate students. We discuss how they became medievalists, what led them to their current research, the resources they use, and how they use them.

19: Witnessing the Crusades in the Eastern Roman Empire with Dr. Leonora Neville

This episode we're sitting down with Dr. Leonora Neville, John W. and Jeanne M. Rowe Chair of Byzantine History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We explore the life and legacy of the medieval Greek historian and princess Anna Komnene, how modern scholars use history to express contemporary political dissent, and why the Roman Empire endured longer than many people realize.
