This event is a multi-disciplinary exploration of the cultural, social, religious, political, and legal dimensions of early modern Europe that push beyond traditional geographical and temporal categories. Learn how fields related to the study of Early Modern Europe are transforming and enlarging their scope of inquiry. We'll look at previously unstudied or minimally studied aspects of early modern societies and approach long- existing issues and debates from new perspectives.
Topics will be explored in the course of three panel discussions, followed by a roundtable conversation focused on submitted student work.
Panel discussion subjects:
"Beyond Tradition in Spain," led by Geoffrey Barrow, Professor of Spanish, Purdue University, Calumet
"Beyond Traditional Interpretations," presented by Professor of History Carina Johnson, Pitzer College
"Beyond Traditional Borders," led by Luke Clossey, Associate Professor of History, Simon Fraser University
This event is free and open to the public. Registration by Aug. 31 is preferred, though registrations will be accepted through Sept. 12.
