A beige poster with the following details in a speech bubble: The Workshop for the Early Modern Period (WEMP) invites submissions for papers to be presented during Lent Term (February-March 2025).

Possible topics may include but are not restricted to:   Methods and sources of knowledge exchange  Transnational vs. local knowledge Microhistorical knowledge Knowledge in trade and commerce People, knowledge, and writing Goods and ideas  Authority and censorship Boundaries and borders The workshop provides a forum for graduate students (MPhil/MA and PhD) to present their research on any aspect of early modern history in a friendly and welcoming environment. WEMP aims to provide a platform to present new ideas, receive feedback on your work-in-progress, and gain experience presenting in front of an audience of fellow early modernists. The format consists of two twenty-minute papers followed by a joint Q&A, refreshments, and the opportunity to mingle and socialise.  In Michaelmas Term 2024, WEMP will be running fortnightly on Mondays at 5 pm (UK time).
