Early Modern Italian World Seminar

This interdisciplinary seminar will host papers and discussions about any aspect of Italian culture and society in the period 1400-1800. We are keen to range across the Italian peninsula including, as the title implies, Italian communities, cultures and connections outside Italy in the Mediterranean, Europe and the rest of the world. The seminar is open to all post-holders, early career researchers, doctoral and masters students, and interested undergraduates, especially those considering graduate studies.

Convenors: Filippo de Vivo (St Edmund Hall); Federica Gigante (History of Science Museum); Giuseppe Marcocci (Exeter); Leah Clark (Continuing Education); Jane Stevens (Brookes); Emanuela Vai (Worcester); Zoe Farrell (St Edmund Hall).

The seminar is funded by the Faculty of History and St Edmund Hall, Oxford. We meet four times a term on Tuesdays in odd weeks of the Oxford University Term at 16:30 in the Old Dining Hall, St Edmund Hall, Queens Lane (unless otherwise specified).

The seminar is open to the public. To get updates about the seminar, please write to mailto:earlymodernitaly@history.ox.ac.uk
