Call for participation - eighth workshop on early modern German history
Friday 30 October 2009, German Historical Institute London
General Aim
The first workshop ran in 2002 and has now established itself as the principal forum for cross-disciplinary discussion of new research on early modern German-speaking Central Europe. Previous themes have included artistic and literary representations, medicine and musicology, as well as political, social, economic and religious history.
Contributions are welcome from those wishing to range outside the period generally considered as 'early modern', and from those engaged in comparative research on other parts of early modern Europe. The Workshop is sponsored by the German History Society, and the German Historical Institute London and participation is free, including lunch.
Format
The day will be organised as a series of themed workshops, each introduced by a panel chair and consisting of two to three short papers and a general discussion. The point of the papers is to present new findings or work-in-progress in summary form, rather than extended detailed discussion. Accordingly, participants are encouraged to:
- keep to 10 minutes
- highlight major findings or questions
- indicate how work might develop in the future
- provide a short outline (no more than 1 side of A4) in advance for distribution to participants
The day will start around 10am and finish around 5pm.
