Welcome to the Canterbury Association for Medieval and Early Modern Studies (CAMEMS)

CAMEMS’ chief aim is to support scholarship. An MA student is being funded for the academic year 2025/26 at the University of Kent’s Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS) with an undertaking for a further four years. (See our donation page to contribute.) In future, CAMEMS aims to provide financial support for doctoral students.

In addition, we help promote and support events and initiatives connected to medieval and early modern studies. CAMEMS, in collaboration with Kent MEMS, will serve as the organiser of two of Canterbury’s well-established events covering the period - the Medieval Weekend and Tudors and Stuarts Weekend. (We’ll put in links to the sites when they exist.) These events both offer opportunities to explore the period in the company of experts.
