Now in its second year, the CHASE Medieval French training course has filled this gap, equipping PGR students from a range of backgrounds with the skills necessary to read, understand, and work with francophone materials from throughout Europe, while introducing them to a range of different kinds of texts — from wills and charters to romances and histories.

This series of workshops has two aims. The first is to investigate the opportunities as well as the problems with using non-traditional forms of evidence. For many of us working across the arts, humanities and social science what counts as evidence might include a persistent feeling, an account of a nightmare, a snow-globe, a tweet, a nightclub flyer, or a discarded object. How can we do justice to these objects in our research and thinking? What must we learn or unlearn in this process? The second and connected aspect of these events is centred around writing. We want to encourage more attention to the craft of writing and to the constitutive power of description. We start from the position that everything is evidence, but that it isn’t always clear what it is evidence of. To make something evidential means activating it – through some form of mediation (for us it is writing, but it could be performance, or filmmaking, or drawing etc.). This means that writing (or any other forms of rendering) is not the epiphenomenon of a method but lies at its centre.
