Description

This week marks the final Faculty Spotlight of the semester where we honor a SLC faculty member's latest work.

This week Gillian Adler joins us, "author of two books, as well as essays published in the Journal of Medieval Religious Culture, Arthuriana, Medieval Feminist Forum, Carte Italiane, and Comitatus: A Journal of Medieval and Renaissance Studies. Her recent co-authored book, ‘Alle Thyng Hath Tyme’: Time and Medieval Life (Reaktion Books, 2023), recreates medieval people’s experience of time: as continuous and discontinuous, linear and cyclical, embracing Creation and Judgment, shrinking to “atoms” or “droplets,” and extending to the silent spaces of eternity. Her first book, Chaucer and the Ethics of Time (Cardiff: University of Wales Press, 2022), examines Chaucer's philosophical ideas of time and strategies of narrative time" (https://www.sarahlawrence.edu/faculty/adler-gillian.html).

Topics include:

• How writing the book affected Gillian's perception of time.


• The writing process.


• Two authors writing in the same voice.


• What's the medieval equivalent of a Faculty Spotlight?


• Medieval women being "reborn" later in their lives.


• Questions from Demi and Aiden.

And much more!
