Wow, #IMCLeeds was amazing! Hot, but amazing. We sponsored three fantastic panels AND found the coolest, shadiest spot on campus (we will never reveal it). What was your favorite part of IMC this year? #MedievalSky #MedievalHistory #Skystorians #HistorySky #EarlyModernSky #EarlyModernHistory

Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal @emwjournal.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

We hope that lots of you will consider submitting a piece for our upcoming forum on early modern women and generations #EarlyModern

The editors of Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal invite submissions for the Fall 2027/Volume 22.1 Forum on the topic of Early Modern Women and Generations.
In keeping with the Journal’s tradition since its third issue (2008), this Forum will comprise short contributions on a single topic by scholars from a variety of disciplines. For Volume 22.1, we invite contributions on **women and generations in the early modern world**. Papers might include examinations of intergenerational relationships among and between women, how gender shapes the expression of generational knowledge and status, how women preserve and protect the generations ahead of and behind them, how representations of generations are gendered, etc. We particularly encourage submissions that appeal to readers across disciplinary and national boundaries. Articles may cover literature, history, art history, history of science, geography, music, politics, religion, theater, cultural studies, and any region of the early modern world.
At least part of our selection process will be focused on assuring geographical, chronological, and disciplinary diversity across the essays ultimately published in this Forum.
Submissions are due October 1, 2026 and should be 3,500 words including footnotes; essays should follow the EMW Style Guide (www.journals.uchicago.edu/pb-assets/docs/journals/EMW-style-guide-CMOS18-1735857164913.pdf). Contributions will be peer-reviewed.
If you have any questions about whether your proposed forum essay fits the scope of the journal, please contact us at emw@press.uchicago.edu.
Please submit contributions at https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/journals/emw/about.
See Submissions and Instructions for Authors. For article type, select Forum

Super-niche query based on my ongoing research on #earlymodern women and accounting: is there any work that's been done on Spanish women and numeracy--or even numeracy in Spain more generally? I'm thinking of something similar to @afroide.bsky.social and @jmotis.bsky.social 's work on England.

With the recent downfall of Sora, I look forward to the inevitable downfall of LLMs. The Twitter bots are getting desperate and telling people that novels and writing is extinct. Novels are only extinct if you don't read them and writers don't write them. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise.

The vast body of research that Ken Burns relied upon to make his new documentary on the American Revolution would be practically impossible to be produced today, what with the defunding of humanistic scholarship, the collapse of stable academic jobs, the attack on public history & academic freedom.🗃️
