Did you know?
It costs $128/minute to run UE. Students only pay $102 through their tuition, resulting in a $26/minute deficit. That’s a deficit of: $1,560/hour - $37,440/day - a Ggrand total of a $13.65 million deficit per year

UE wouldn’t even be able to function without the financial support it receives every year from many generous Alumni, Friends and Corporations.

Did you know?
Last year, only 13.5% of those alums made a gift back to the University. Alumni giving percentage is one key factor when national organizations rank colleges and universities. A gift of any amount gets an alum counted, helps UE’s giving percentage and the gift goes directly to support current students.

Did you know?
95 percent of full-time students receive financial aid and scholarships, with an average package of $23,700 per year.

Did you know?
Last year, only 392 of 4800 young alumni (graduated in the last 10 years) made a gift of any amount to support UE students.

This year’s History Department Spring Lecture will feature Dr. David Green, Lecturer in History and British Studies at Harlaxton College. The event is free and open to the public, and faculty, staff, students and the campus community are invited to attend. The lecture, titled "The English Empire in the Later Middle Ages," will take place from 4-5:30 p.m. Thursday, March 21 in Eykamp Hall, Room 251A. 

This speaking engagement represents in integral part of Dr. Green’s on-going research program which explores ‘colonial’ practices and attitudes at work in the dominions of the later medieval English monarchy (England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Gascony, and Normandy).

By March 2013 Dr. Green will have published four articles in international peer-reviewed journals and essay collections, including the Journal of British Studies and the Journal of Historical Sociology. Another important element in this project is a major international conference (the Harlaxton Medieval Symposium) which Dr. Green will convene alongside colleagues from the universities of York and East Anglia (both in the U.K.). Together these scholarly activities form an innovative research program which examines, through a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, a period of fundamental change in the construction of the English nation.

Dr. Green’s research trajectory and findings have been shaped, in part, by the core course in British Studies required of all students at Harlaxton College with its focus on the construction of the British nation, its identity, and the relationships between its component parts. Accordingly, research from this program will be used to inform the teaching of this course, particularly the recently developed Honors section, which will sustain and enrich the curricular and co-curricular experience of UE students at Harlaxton in accordance with the university’s Strategic Plan Core Goal 1.
