�ۿ۴�ý

The Medieval Iberia Conference marks the ����Գٰ�é of research and instruction in medieval Iberian literature and culture at �ۿ۴�ý's Department of Iberian and Latin American Cultures. The arrival of Vincent Barletta to the department has strengthened the �ۿ۴�ý medieval group by adding to its ranks one of the finest medievalists working on the Iberian Peninsula. Recalling the itinerancy of medieval scholars, the conference will begin at �ۿ۴�ý on October 10 and migrate to U.C. Berkeley the next day. This event also inaugurates a new phase of collaboration between the departments at both universities, something that local pundits have begun to call "transbayism" or "the Dumbarton Bridge Connection."
