A conversation on The Bright Ages: A New History of Medieval Europe between authors Matthew Gabriele, professor of medieval studies and chair of the Department of Religion and Culture at Virginia Tech, and David M. Perry (PhD ‘06), undergraduate academic advisor for the Department of History, University of Minnesota Twin Cities. This event took place February 16, 2022 as part of a series of virtual History Book Club gatherings hosted by the University of Minnesota History Department. Unfortunately, the first few minutes of our event were disrupted by "Zoom bombers" and we are unable to share that part of the recording.
