Liturgy in History : an International Study Day at QMUL, sponsored by CREMS
19 November 2013, Queen Mary, University of London
Location: Old Library, Garrod Building, Queen Mary Whitechapel Campus (near Whitechapel Station – District and Hammersmith & City lines)
Three speakers – Professor Nils Holger Petersen (University of Copenhagen), Professor Emma Dillon (King’s College London) and Dr Beth Williamson (University of Bristol) – will guide participants through the structure and formulae of liturgical sources. The musical, visual, architectural and performative aspects of the liturgy will all be carefully considered and approaches to liturgy re-interrogated. The presentations will be followed by a roundtable discussion with Professor Miri Rubin (QMUL) and Professor Sara Lipton (SUNY).
The day will culminate in a trip to a nearby renaissance church which will help situate them in their context.
