We provide the bibliography on this webpage as an intellectual resource and work to update it regularly. The Lollard Society is also active outside of this webpage. We sponsor sessions at major international conferences on Medieval Studies at Kalamazoo and Leeds and organize our own academic conferences and colloquia. We provide a forum to encourage conferences and publications that promote a greater understanding of lollardy and the cultures in which it developed and affected. One of our primary purposes is to support the work of graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and early-career professors in the field.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Director<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcgill.ca\/english\/staff\/michael-van-dussen\">Michael Van Dussen<\/a>, Dept. of English, McGill University<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2183 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/lollardsociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Van-Dussen-Photo-267x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"119\" height=\"134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lollardsociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Van-Dussen-Photo-267x300.jpg 267w, https:\/\/lollardsociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Van-Dussen-Photo-911x1024.jpg 911w, https:\/\/lollardsociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Van-Dussen-Photo-133x150.jpg 133w, https:\/\/lollardsociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Van-Dussen-Photo-768x863.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lollardsociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Van-Dussen-Photo.jpg 1016w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 119px) 100vw, 119px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Executive Council<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chch.ox.ac.uk\/staff\/professor-mishtooni-bose\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mishtooni Bose<\/a>, Faculty of English, Christ Church, Oxford<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cms.flu.cas.cz\/en\/about-us\/people\/faculty\/pavlina-cermanova.html\">Pavl\u00edna Cermanov\u00e1<\/a>, Centrum Medievistick\u00fdch Studi\u00ed, Filosofick\u00fd \u00fastav, Akademie v\u011bd \u010cesk\u00e9 republiky, Prague<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trinity.ox.ac.uk\/people\/kantik-ghosh\">Kantik Ghosh<\/a>, Faculty of English, Trinity College, Oxford<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unl.edu\/classics\/stephen-lahey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stephen Lahey<\/a>, Dept. of Religion and Classics, University of Nebraska-Lincoln<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yu.edu\/faculty\/pages\/lavinsky-david\">David Lavinsky<\/a>, Dept. of English Literature, Yeshiva University<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muni.cz\/en\/people\/10455-petra-mutlova\">Petra Mutlov\u00e1<\/a>, \u00dastav klasick\u00fdch studi\u00ed, Masaryk University, Brno<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rug.nl\/staff\/p.j.outhwaite\/\">Patrick Outhwaite<\/a>, (webmaster), Dept. of English Language and Culture, University of Groningen<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.uconn.edu\/person\/fiona-somerset\/#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fiona Somerset<\/a>, Dept. of English, University of Connecticut<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cms.flu.cas.cz\/en\/about-us\/people\/leadership\/pavel-soukup.html\">Pavel Soukup<\/a>, Centrum Medievistick\u00fdch Studi\u00ed, Filosofick\u00fd \u00fastav, Akademie v\u011bd \u010cesk\u00e9 republiky, Prague<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.english.upenn.edu\/People\/EmilySteiner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Emily Steiner<\/a>, Dept. of English, University of Pennsylvania<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The banner image displayed on this website is from a copy of the Wycliffite <\/em>Floretum <em>in Prague, N\u00e1rodn\u00ed knihovna \u010cesk\u00e9 republiky, MS V.B.2, fol. 11r.
