The group is open to any with an interest in early modern/Renaissance/18^thC history including PGs and UGs (those taking the relevant modules).

The plan to provide a congenial peer environment and the opportunity to present a succinct talk of 10-15 minutes about any recent aspect of your research, explaining, expanding and discussing. It could be, for example, introducing a source or linked sources, a piece of your own writing, or an explanation of your methodology for research. (We could do three in a session, perhaps?)

Prof. Mark Knight’s PhD students will be taking the lead initially. Hopefully, this will inspire contributions across the board.

For this session:

1. Megan Zander: The Weaponization of Female Sexuality in Tudor England
2. Ruth Barbour: 18th C Catholics in Warwickshire: Constructing an argument
