EARLY MODERN STUDIES
Several people on campus have teaching and research interests in or that intersect with the Early Modern Period (~1450-1750). This is a very fertile time period for art, literature, music, mathematics, science, philosophy, economics, as well as political and religious thought. Themes of interest might include religious reformations, scientific revolutions, transatlantic connections, colonialism, depictions and representations of cultures, the rise of capitalism and democracy, etc. This lunch is an opportunity to share our common interests, explore interdisciplinary teaching opportunities, and discuss resources (e.g., databases, etc.) as well as external speakers that might be of interest to early modern scholars across the disciplines.
