The Early Modern Seminar
The Early Modern Seminar is an interdisciplinary and faculty-wide forum for researchers who in varying ways study the period from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment, yet welcomes the participation of all those who share an interest in the time period which has come to be called "early modern" (c. 1400–1800).
The seminar aims to promote and reinforce research into earlier periods at the Humanities Faculty, initiate and support new research projects and teaching programs, as well as develop research contacts with other educational institutions and early modern research networks in Sweden and abroad.
About us
The Early Modern Seminar consists of members from four departments at the Faculty of Humanities: Cultural Sciences, Literature, History of Ideas, and Religion, Languages and Literatures and Historical Studies.
Since 2017, the group has organised several international conferences on topics connected to the members’ ongoing research projects. We regularly invite international and local academics to seminars, workshops and lectures. For planned activities, see under “Upcoming events”.
