Medieval Ireland was filled with monasteries. By 800, some sections of the island had a religious settlement every few kilometers. Why did monasteries become such a good idea? What is it about these religious settlements that fit the changing circumstances of Ireland so well? Dr. John Soderberg, Professor of Sociology-Anthropology at Denison University, will present “Religion in Early Medieval Ireland: An Archaeologist’s View of Monasteries” on Feb. 22 at 4:10 p.m. in CORNS 312.
