Medieval Academy of America’s Professional Behavior PolicyWhy We Have a Professional Behavior PolicyTheMedievalAcademyofAmerica(MAA)iscommittedtoprotectingallmembersofourcommunity,especiallythoseinvulnerablepositions.Mutual respect is expected; neither harassment nor bullying will betolerated.AMedievalAcademyinwhichmembersbehaveprofessionallyand ethically is an important component of the continued health ofourfield in thenext scholarly generations.Theprinciples andpolicycontainedinthisdocumentapplytoallattendeesatourAnnualMeetingandsupplementtheMAA’sharassmentpolicyforitsemployees.

HarassmentThe Medieval Academy of America views harassment as a formof discrimination and misconduct by which the harasser asserts arelationship of power over the harassed through behavior that causesfeelingsoffearordistress.Harassmentimpliesthatanindividualisnot

BullyingThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (https://www.cdc.gov/features/prevent-bullying/index.html) consider bullying a seriousproblem.

Penn Global Medieval and Renaissance

Studies

Undergraduate Minor in Global Medieval Studies Graduate Certificate in Global Medieval & Renaissance Studies

The University of Pennsylvania is one of the oldest centers for the study of the Middle Ages in North America. Since the 19th century, Penn has been the home of eminent medievalists in many fields, including all areas of East Asian, European, Islamic, and Jewish history, cultures, and literature. This long tradition has built rich resources for pursuing specialized study and research, notably in the Van Pelt and Fisher Fine Arts Libraries, the Schoenberg Center for Manuscript Studies, and the Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies. In addition to the regular academic departmental curricula, a deep commitment to interdisciplinarity fosters broad interaction across academic communities: active programs of lectures, colloquia, working groups, and exhibitions bring together faculty, staff, and students.

Eleven Penn departments contribute to the graduate and undergraduate interdisciplinary programs in Global Medieval and Renaissance Studies, which allows students to discover the premodern world together, as the root and necessary precondition to the modern. The program is broad geographically and temporally; it includes Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, and in the latter part of our period even the New World, from Late Antiquity to 1700. The program encourages students to view the world through the lens of various disciplinary and geographic perspectives and discover the interaction of diverse civilizations and religions.

$2.50 cash for a single ride (in exact change, bills and coins accepted)

$1.00 for a transfer to a connecting line

$2.00 for a single ride if you purchase or add value (online or at a kiosk) to the Travel Wallet of a SEPTA Key Card. Daily passes, weekly passes, and Quick Rides are additional SEPTA Key Card options

For more information, maps, and schedules appear on the SEPTA website: www.septa.org.

Subway (Blue Line)The SEPTA Market-Frankford subway line (“Blue Line”) travels along Market Street (East-West). It can be picked up at 40th, 34th, 30th, 15th/City Hall, 13th, 11th, 8th, 5th, and 2nd Streets (and others), and is an easy and inexpensive way to get to both Center City and Old City for tours and dining.

Trolleys (Subway Surface Lines/Green Lines)Some of the SEPTA trolley routes run underground between Center City and West Philadelphia. An Eastbound/Westbound stop is located at 36th and Sansom Streets. Additional stops to the East are located along Market Street at 33rd, 30th, 22nd, 19th, 15th/City Hall, and 13th Streets; to the West, the lines diverge. When boarding trolleys at street level, fares are paid upon entry, as for buses.

BusesThe two main SEPTA buses that go between the University of Pennsylvania and Center City/Old City are the 21 and the 42.

Going East to Center City/Old City, catch the 21 at the corner of 34th and Chestnut Streets or the 42 at the southeast corner of 33rd and Walnut Streets.

Going West to the University of Pennsylvania campus, catch either bus at bus stops along Walnut Street. Both buses make stops at nearly every street. The 21 bus goes up Walnut Street beyond 40th, while the 42 bus turns left at 34th and Walnut and discharges passengers on the southwest corner before turning right on Spruce Street.

TaxisIn Philadelphia, taxis can be hailed on the street or using one of the apps below. The taxi dispatch station nearest the conference is in front of the Sheraton University City, at 36th and Chestnut Streets. Fares are determined by distance according to a meter. There may be a surcharge for fuel (about $1.00) and for additional passengers. You are expected to tip the driver approximately 20% of the final fare.
