The Forum for Research in Medieval Studies (FoRMS)

The Forum for Research in Medieval Studies (FoRMS), first formed as a Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop (RIW) in Fall 2010, serves as a structure for the Medieval Lunch series and a reading group for graduate students. In its geographical, historical, and disciplinary scope, FoRMS aims to provide an important forum for graduate students and faculty to discuss their work as contributions to the broad field of “medieval studies.” At FoRMS sponsored lunches throughout the semester, graduate students can present their ongoing research and receive feedback from other members of the FoRMS community. FoRMS also sponsors interdisciplinary reading groups and other social events, which are organized on a more ad-hoc basis.
