More on Medieval Studies

I have finally come to have a pretty good grip over the discipline of Medieval Studies. The discipline of Medieval Studies started at the undergraduate level in the 1960s, though its roots go back much earlier. G. G. Coulton was an Anglican historian that specialized in the Middle Ages. Fiercely, against Roman Catholicism he laid many of the foundations for what has become Medieval Studies. I own one of his books about Medieval home life which has some interesting history over what he considers to have been the pro-slavery history of the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages in relation to how Peasants were treated. 
 Interest in the Middle Ages gained much momentum in the 1960s as hippies were influenced by the Troubadours. Music from the sixties and seventies also took much influence from the music of Medieval Times.
 Here in the state of Tennessee, majoring in Medieval Studies is only possibly at the undergraduate level. A Certificate in Medieval Studies can be achieved by students in similar departments at the graduate level at the University of Tennessee. There seems to currently be few graduate programs in Medieval Studies across the nation. 
 In recent years, Medieval Studies has become largely hijacked by leftist that demonize the period as the origins of intolerance towards Islam and the origins of White Supremacy. While some professionals in this field are not this way, many conservatives are becoming more and more the subject of criticism by their peers in these fields. For more on this, check out the book Middle Rages: Why the Battle for Medieval Studies Matters to America by Milo Yiannopoulos.
''Medievalist,'' is a broader term for those that major in Medieval Studies. Many history or English professors that specialize in the Middle Ages are also commonly called ''Medievalists.'' Even then, the definition of ''Medievalist seems'' to vary somewhat from one dictionary to the next. Sometimes the term is not academic but merely for anyone that studies or loves the Middle Ages.
 The future is unknown and up for grabs. However, I am settled on English not only as my undergraduate major, but probably for any further studies past that level.
