Interdisciplinary Early Modern Graduate Seminar

 

Overview: The Early Modern Interdisciplinary Seminar is a fortnightly meeting of scholars whose work has implications for any aspect of the early modern period. The seminar exists to highlight and discuss innovative research that weaves together a diverse array of disciplines, including History, English Literature, Philosophy, Law, Linguistics, Economics, and Theology. The seminar aims to bring academics, researchers and students from a wide variety of fields and academic backgrounds into ever-closer dialogue with one another, and to explore the many ways in which the early modern period can be illuminated by cross-disciplinary themes, ideas, arguments and evidence. The meeting is divided into two sections. The first section invites a guest speaker to deliver a paper on their research for one hour. The second section provides 15-30 minutes for the speaker to answer questions on the topic and engage in a discussion on the cross-disciplinary implications of their work.
