Medieval Day at Reynolds: An Interdisciplinary Learning Event
Morrison, Nancy S.
Inquiry, v17 n1 p37-42 Spr 2012
Medieval Day at Reynolds turned a typical Friday class day into an interdisciplinary learning event, which joined faculty and students into a community of learners. From classrooms issued tales of Viking and Mongol conquests, religious crusaders, deadly plague, and majestic cathedrals and art, all told by costumed faculty members with expertise in medieval studies. In the commons area, medieval enactors helped participants learn how to card, spin, and weave, to dance, and to use broad sword techniques. This event at this college involved faculty, staff, and students in an interdisciplinary teaching and learning experience. In this article, the primary organizer of Reynolds's Medieval Day discusses its origin, details the schedule of events, and dispenses advice for any who might be interested in creating a similar college-wide experience.
