Quadrivium 2009

Training, Careers and Vitae

Fifth Quadrivium PhD Training Symposium

4-5 November 2009
School of English, University of Leicester

Convened by Dr Orietta Da Rold

For those of you who are new or not so new to PhD work, the Quadrivium Programme offers lectures, seminars, and networking opportunities over a two-day period. Initiated with support from the AHRC collaborative PhD training fund 2004-06, Quadrivium is a training event which for the last five years has been held each November at a different university and run for students of medieval English textual cultures by a consortium of medievalists from Birmingham, Queen's Belfast, Oxford, York, Leicester, Glasgow, and St Andrews.

The Medieval Manuscripts Research Consortium, an alliance of UK-based funded research project teams, is a collegial forum for sharing expertise and experience concerning project management and, in particular, the nurturing of PostDocs and PhD students and the promotion of collaboration among project teams and institutions.

For further links to online resources for research in textual criticism, or to find out more about the Quadrivium Project, please visit the main Quadrivium site.

This year Quadrivium is being hosted in the School of English at the University of Leicester in collaboration with the University of Birmingham. Quadrivium’s ‘generic skills’ approach will be of value to research students at various stages of their doctoral careers.
