6 PM, Virtual

Co-Director, Institute for Pilgrimage Studies, William & Mary
Jessica Streit, Assistant Professor of Islamic & Medieval Art, William & Mary

Jessica Streit will begin the evening presentation with medieval Le Puy-en-Velay, a city that serves as the starting point for one of the four major routes to Santiago de Compostela. Her talk will feature two of the city’s 12^th-century pilgrimage monuments, showing how they engender feelings of arrival and a desire to keep moving for their audience of pilgrims. Kathleen Jenkins will then bring us to the 21^st century.
