The Lindsay Young Distinguished Visiting Senior Scholar program was created by the Marco Steering Committee in 2015. Designed to bring a distinguished scholar to campus for an extended visit, this program is intended to enrich both faculty research and graduate/undergraduate education on campus. 

This year's speaker is Craig Taylor, Professor of Medieval History at the University of York. He is a Fellow of both the Société de l’Histoire de France and the Royal Historical Society, and is the former Director of York’s Centre for Medieval Studies. He is the author of eight books and dozens of articles on chivalry, knighthood, and the Hundred Years’ War.
