For LIPSS 2020, we have devised some thematic strands to help you choose which combinations of courses to take. The strands of courses listed below complement each other, and follow five themes; Classics, Insular, Italian, Post-Medieval England, and How Manuscripts Were Made - you can use these to guide your decisions, but you can combine any courses you like!
