Teaching Early Modern Women’s Writing Between Literature and Philosophy: Pedagogy and Practice.

Date: 11 November 2026 – 12 November 2026

Deadline: 30 June 2026

Location: Online

Visit website → https://culturesofphilosophy.exeter.ac.uk/2026/05/14/812/#more-812

The Cultures of Philosophy team at the University of Exeter invites proposals for the online workshop Teaching Early Modern Women’s Writing Between Literature and Philosophy: Pedagogy and Practice. The aim of this workshop is to share case studies and best practice regarding the teaching of early modern women’s philosophical writing in HE, across languages, disciplines and national settings. We intend to bring together teachers and researchers in HE with members of subject organisations to reflect on what’s working and what could be changed to improve the visibility of and engagement with early modern women’s philosophical writing, broadly conceived. The workshop will take place online over one afternoon (Wed 11th) and one morning (Thurs 12th); we envisage short (10 minute) interventions to allow for plenty of discussion. We intend to produce a report to be published on our project website, summarising the workshop’s findings and to use this as a landing page to bring together further resources.

Nice stuff from Armitage, and the salient thing here is just how heavily involved Locke was in the Board of Trade in the 1690s, and therefore in colonial policy and empire-making. Locke's 1690s publications also include his remarks on the poor laws. That is not a coincidence.

The Blind Leading the Blind (1568) by Pieter Bruegel the Elder.

The painting depicts six blind men, linked together by holding onto each other’s shoulders or sticks, stumbling across an uneven landscape. They move diagonally across the canvas, from the left foreground toward the right background.

The diagonal composition can be broken into nine parts with two sets of parallel lines perpendicular to each other.

The French philosopher René Descartes (1596-1650) is generally presented as one of the founders of modern Western philosophy and science. Yet Descartes was not always the undisputed champion of reason that he is today. Why was he accused of being a purveyor of ignorance?

📣 New open access publication on early modern student notes, in which Leuven features quite prominently, as it has a long tradition of research in this source type (e.g. Magister Dixit, DaLeT). An extra surplus is that it has appeared in the year of KU Leuven's sexcentenary.

Gutted I'll miss this due to work but I'd encourage anyone in London on Thursday to go along and hear Nikki's paper. Knowing her work as I do I'm sure it'll be a fascinating talk.
