The sixth and last session of Iberian Con­nec­tions for the fall-2019 semester fea­tures two spe­cialists in Legal History, trans-disciplinar approaches to Law and Culture, and Medieval Studies. Beatrice Pas­ciuta is a Pro­fessor of Law at the Uni­versity of Palermo, where she directs a research project on the mul­ti­cul­tural and mul­ti­con­fes­sional Norman kingdom of Sicily. Emanuele Conte, Pro­fessor of Law at the Uni­versity of Roma Tre, has worked on the the­o­retical and prac­tical dis­cus­sions taking place in the margins of medieval com­pi­la­tions of Roman Law, as well as on the history of the invention of the dis­ci­pline of Legal History. Coor­di­nating and responding, we will have Brais Lamela, from Columbia University.

Both Pro­fessor Pas­ciuta and Pro­fessor Conte have pre­pared some mate­rials to help us going on with the discussion.

Iberian Con­nec­tions is sup­ported by the Department of Spanish and Por­tuguese and The Macmillan Center.
