It was organized by three research groups: Christine de Pizan Group, coordinated by Professors Luciana Deplagne (UFPB) and Cláudia Brochado (UnB), Gradalis, coordinated by Professor Guilherme Queiroz de Souza (UFPB) and Latin American Colonial Studies, coordinated by Professor Alfredo Cordiviola (UFPE). With an interdisciplinary proposal, the seminar had as its theme "Middle Ages: multidimensional perspectives" and centered the debate in three dimensions: spatial , temporal and gender dimensions, which were articulated in the interface of medieval studies and decolonial thinking.
