Lilley to present “Moral Topographies of the Medieval City”

Keith Lilley, a lecturer from the School of Geography at Queens University in Belfast, Ireland, will present “Moral Topographies of the Medieval City,” at Loyola College in Maryland on Tuesday, April 17. His address begins at 7 p.m. in Knott Hall B01 on the College’s North Charles Street campus.

Lilley’s appearance is part of “Urban Spaces, Urban Voices,” the College’s 2007 Humanities Symposium. An annual program sponsored by Loyola’s Center for the Humanities, the Symposium encourages students and faculty to consider a common text from their own discipline’s perspective. This year’s text, Jane Jacobs’ The Death and Life of Great American Cities, is considered a classic in the fields of architecture and urban planning.

A specialist in historical geography and urban morphology, Lilley holds a Ph.D. from the University of Birmingham and completed a British Academy Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Royal Holloway, one of the five major colleges of the University of London. His current research interests focus on how European urban landscapes were shaped during the Middle Ages. At Queen’s University, he teaches urban and historical geography, with a particular focus on urban landscapes in contemporary and historical contexts.
