CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
WORKSHOP ON EARLY MODERN GERMAN HISTORY
Friday 31 May 2002
Venue: German Historical Institute, London
General Aim
Early modern German history has been transformed over the last few years
by new questions and approaches. While these have featured on the agendas
of several important interdisciplinary conferences, there has been little
opportunity for early modern Germanists to discuss these developments
together. The one-day workshop will provide a chance to meet, hear and
discuss the latest research and work in progress. To encourage the
interchange of ideas, 'German history' should be understood broadly as
Central European and the timespan widened to include those who range
outside the period generally considered as 'early modern'. The Workshop
is sponsored by the German History Society and participation is free,
including lunch. It aims
* To provide an informal opportunity to exchange ideas and research
findings, particularly for postgraduates and new researchers
* To enable participants to take stock of the rich diversity of new work
just completed, or currently in progress
* To make new connections and stimulate further research
* To have a fun day!
General Outline
The day will be organised as a series of themed workshops, each introduced
by a panel chair and consisting of approx. 3 short papers and a general
discussion. The point of the papers is to present new findings or
work-in-progress in summary form, rather than extended detailed
discussion. Accordingly, participants are encouraged to:
* keep to 10 minutes
* highlight major findings or questions
* indicate how work might develop in the future
* provide a short outline (no more than 1 side of A4) in advance for
distribution to participants
