Early Modern World Graduate Colloquium

The colloquium is a forum for all graduate students at Brown who profess an interest in the early modern period (broadly defined as 1400–1800) to meet and exchange ideas on topics of mutual interest in a convivial setting with many different disciplinary and language backgrounds represented.

The group meets in person over snacks and drinks, and the purpose of individual meetings is decided by the group. In the past, meetings have been convened to discuss student work-in-progress, from conference presentations to scholarly articles, as well as the work of faculty and visiting speakers to the center, with papers often circulated in advance. The center’s graduate student representative serves as the group’s main coordinator.

To receive announcements about the colloquium and for questions, please email the current graduate student representative, Benjamin Easton (Hispanic Studies).
