In the fifteenth century, the existing structures of authority were tested by the emergence of parliamentary representation in both Church and Society.
In the sixteenth century, new worlds were discovered, overseas and in the Scriptures.
Together these developments changed the face
of Europe dramatically. The purpose of the Division for Late Medieval
and Reformation Studies at the University of Arizona is to examine this
accumulation of factors and forces.
Under the guidance of
Professor Heiko A. Oberman
, one of the foremost Reformation scholars in the world, and currently
under the Directorship of
Professor Susan C. Karant-Nunn
, the Division has become an education program of singular excellence
providing students with a program of rigorous scholarship and the Tucson
community with intellectual feasts. Additionally, the Division has
established close ties with an international network of scholars and centers
of research in order to facilitate an exchange of learning and information
throughout the world.
Numerous community lecture
series and evenings with world-acclaimed guest speakers
are planned to extend the circle of those who associate with the Division
beyond the students and staff to anyone wishing to stay abreast of the
important work being conducted within and beyond the walls of this establishment.
Financial contributions are
used to support the research and travel of our students who are dedicated
to becoming outstanding teachers and researchers in their field.
Foremost in our fundraising
efforts is the preservation of the Oberman Research
Library
and the endowment of a Chair in Late Medieval
and Reformation History
, which seeks to perpetuate the legacy of our founding director:
- to provide profound education of the intellect
- to seek development of the whole student
- to prepare to serve the next generation of students
- to integrate these individuals into the national and international
community of learning
- to acknowledge our interrelatedness with the community
