Historical Parallels

Professor of History Katherine Smith studies what scholars sometimes refer to as “the long 12th century,” encompassing the social and political events from around 1050 to 1200 CE. Both of her books, War and the Making of Medieval Monastic Culture and The Bible and Crusade Narrative, were inspired by classroom discussions. She is currently working on a new book that examines life in the Middle Ages through everyday objects. We sat down with Smith to talk about the parallels between the 12th century and today, about helping students find fellowship opportunities, and about what we can learn from the study of history.

Two students ride a tandem bike by cherry blossoms.

Spring Vibes

Puget Sound's campus boasts over 1,500 trees, and while the giant sequoia usually gets all the attention, every year around this time, the cherry trees put on a spectacular show. This week was peak cherry blossom season on campus—a sure sign that warmer weather is just around the corner. See more photos on Instagram and Facebook!
