On July 3, I will be speaking at the “Brides of Christ: Women and Monasticism in Medieval and Early Modern Ireland” conference. This, the fifth in the Glenstal History Conferences, will focus on the history, archaeology, and theology of women’s monasticism in Ireland from its earliest years right the way through to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
My paper, “‘Order, Order’: Identity, Belonging and Women’s Monastic Communities in Ireland and France, Twelfth to Fifteen Centuries”, will explore both a Cistercian monastery of nuns in Westmeath and some Premonstratensian communities of women in Francophone areas.
More information about the conference can be found at the conference website.
