Cambridge Workshop for the Early Modern Period @emgscam.bsky.social · 17/12/2024
We are thrilled to announce our Lent Call for Papers- If you are interested in submitting a 20 min paper on the theme of 'Exchanging Knowledge,' please send us your abstract by 6 January! Read below for more details or DM us for a plain text version.
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). The theme of this term is Exchanging Knowledge, c. 1450-1800. All current graduate students at the University of Cambridge and any other institutions are encouraged to apply. 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). The workshop will also run in a hybrid 
format. Non-Cambridge-based speakers and members of the 
audience will be welcome to join us on Zoom. 
If you do not want to miss any updates, do not forget to 
subscribe to our mailing list:
https://www.hist.cam.ac.uk/workshop-early-modern-period-wemp.

If you are interested in presenting your work, please send a provisional title, an abstract (300 words max.), and a short bio to the convenors at camwemp2024@gmail.com by 6 January 2025
