THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO INSTITUTE FOR MEDIEVAL STUDIES
The University of New Mexico’s Institute for Medieval Studies (IMS) hosts a variety of programs dedicated to university and civic outreach, as well as to the enrichment of scholarship, teaching, and research in the civilization of Europe and its neighbors from 500 to 1500. The Institute’s acclaimed annual Spring Lecture Series, now in its twenty-fourth year, has brought many of North America’s and Europe’s leading medievalists to the UNM campus, as have its occasional colloquia on medieval science and medicine. The Institute was the first medieval program in the country to develop a peer-mentoring curriculum that provides graduate students and advanced undergraduates the opportunity to teach medieval modules in the classrooms of local high and middle schools. Since 2003, the Institute has been the home of the AVISTA Forum Journal. Issued annually, the journal publishes articles in the fields of medieval science, technology, and art.
