MA student Evan Jones wins bronze in 3MT competition

Evan Jones, who is working on his masters thesis in medieval history under the supervision of Marc Saurette, won $250 for his three minute presentation on Peter the Venerable vs. Judaism.

His current research focuses on the text, Against the Inveterate Obduracy of the Jews – twelfth-century anti-Judaic polemic by the author Peter the Venerable (c. 1095-1156). His thesis explores the emotional rhetoric grounding and organizing an attack on Jewish practices of reading and interpreting Scripture.

Congratulations, Evan!
