Early Modern Workshop
Schedule of Sessions
(2009-2010)

 

2009-2010 Schedule

If you are interested in presenting a paper, dissertation chapter, journal article or other scholarly work in progress
at the Early Modern Workshop, please contact Christopher Fletcher at cfletcher@uchicago.edu or Elisa Jones at elisajones@uchicago.edu .  Though the Workshop is primarily composed of historians, we gladly welcome presenters from outside of the History Department.

As a rule, the format of the Workshop is for the presenter to precirculate his or her paper one week in advance of the
session date, during which time typically participants read the paper.  Participation is open to the public.  At the
Workshop session itself (Monday evenings at 5 PM in Pick 319, except where noted), participants ask questions of the author and offer constructive feedback on the paper.
