Current MEMI Initiatives

As a result of discussions preceding and during the AGM, the MEMI board is working to globalize the mandate of the group. We are also developing interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate certificate programs. Finally, we are working on a new model for a virtual annual comparative pre-modern studies conference, to be sponsored jointly with Athabasca University. Please contact the director (felice.lifshitz@ualberta.ca) if you would like to help with any of these initiatives.
