Dr. Nicole Jackson presented on her dissertation research at the Phi Alpha Theta Graduate Research Forum on April 17th. Several faculty and a large number of graduate students attended the forum to hear Dr. Jackson explain the process of turning an idea into a dissertation project, and then into a potential monograph. Dr. Jackson is currently working on the subject of black British feminist writers throughout the latter twentieth century.

The Phi Alpha Theta Research Forum was designed to showcase the research process, and in particular, how to turn an idea into a research project. Future sessions will include both faculty and graduate students at different stages of the writing process and how they approach the process. Suggestions for future forums are welcome, and should be directed to Alex Sycher at sychera@bgsu.edu or Joe Faykosh at jdfayko@bgsu.edu.

The Department of History and the History Society present Professor Alexander Angelov. He is an assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the College of William and Mary and specializes in Eastern Christianity, Byzantine history, and anthropology of religion. He will be presenting a lecture titled “Sins, Demons, and Redemption: Cultural Notions and Practice of the Medieval Inquisition” on Thursday, April 17, at 2:30 p.m. in 111 Olscamp Hall.

Apart from a brief historical overview of the emergence and practice of the Catholic Inquisition, the lecture will explore the particular cultural notions and theological assumptions that sustained this important medieval institution. In the process of re- evaluating the Inquisition’s legacy, we will also explore more broadly how categories of “sin,” “trespassing,” “crime,” and “punishment” formed and functioned in society. Focal examples will include the medieval Christian attitudes to “Jews,” “Lepers,” “Sexual Deviants,” and the ‘Possessed.’
