University of Chicago
Welcome to the Renaissance Workshop
We are an interdisciplinary workshop dedicated to the discussion of a wide range of topics concerning the arts and culture of the Renaissance period including: literature, visual art, music, religion, politics, overseas exploration and much more. We meet on alternate Mondays throughout the academic year. The workshop serves as a forum for graduate students to receive feedback on dissertation chapters, mock job talks and other significant work. We also enjoy discussions of pre-circulated papers by both University of Chicago faculty and visitors from institutions around the country.Upcoming Events:
