About the Lecture:
Enjoy an insightful talk by Dr. Elena Fiorin from Sapienza Università di Roma, Italy, where she will share her research on community responses to large-scale crises such as wars and pandemics in Medieval Northern Italy, based on bioanthropological evidence. Following the lecture, a light lunch will be provided, offering a great opportunity for casual chats with the speaker and fellow attendees. We welcome audiences of any background to join; no prior experience in archaeology or pathology is necessary.

The lecture is free for all to attend. Due to limited capacity, registration is REQUIRED. Please RSVP by the 28th March at 3 PM to help us ensure there are enough refreshments. Your place is only secured upon receipt of a confirmation email from us.
