Medieval Universities: Privileged, Distinctive, Embedded

Professor Miri Rubin gives a free lecture on the history of the university, introducing medieval universities from their beginnings in England, France and Italy and on to the Renaissance. The lecture will also address questions such as: How is learning to be turned into a job and career? How are poor students to be supported? How are youthful students best transformed into serious scholars? Who should support higher education? What are the criteria for academic freedom?
