Hi everyone!
This is just to give everyone a heads up that I've heard the CLAYTON bookstore has run out of Unit Guides for our course but they will be getting more in soon. If you haven't purchased a Unit Guide yet, and were planning to do so from Clayton, just wait a few days and try again.
The CAULFIELD bookstore still has plenty of copies in stock of the Unit Guide (37 when I just rang a moment ago) which should mean - fingers crossed - that all Caulfield students will be able to purchase a copy easily within the first week of classes. If you find the Caulfield bookstore runs out over the next few days just wait a few more as I'm sure they will order more in.
In the meantime, if you are unable to buy a copy of the Unit Guide because the bookstores have run out, and you are worried about getting caught up on the readings, all the material provided in the Unit Guide can be accessed either online or at the library. Please just contact me, or comment here, and I can send you the relevant links or library information.
Happy reading everyone!

Welcome to Medieval Europe Blog Tutorial Eleven!
Welcome everyone!
My name is Diana and I will be your tutor for Medieval Europe (ATS 1316) . I'm really looking forward to exploring medieval history with you all this term.
I'd thought I'd start things off on our blog by just posting a few images to remind us that while studying medieval history can be serious at times it can also be fun.....and even a bit silly!
The first two images are taken from medieval manuscripts depicting medieval university students. Universities, as we know them today, have their origins in the Middle Ages. The first universities were founded in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Many of the practices associated with the first universities continue in ours today. Everything from the names of our degrees to the robes we wear when we graduate! As you can see from the images student life doesn't seem to have changed too much!
The image below is a photo of myself taken while I was attending a medieval feast hosted by my college at Oxford University a few years back. It's a bit silly but it shows how much fun people still have celebrating the Middle Ages!
I wish everyone the best this term!
