Details

Most research in medieval and early modern studies involves interdisciplinary work. Whether it be historians working with philosophers, scholars of literature working with classicists or some other combination, research in these fields often requires one to collaborate with and learn skills from scholars in cognate disciplines. This workshop will bring together leading scholars with extensive skills in interdisciplinary research in order to share their skills and experience with postgraduate students and early career researchers.

The Early Modern Thought Research Theme will be running the workshop in conjunction with ANZAMEMS.  Bursaries are available for postgraduates and for early career researchers.  Facilitating the workshop will be Peter Marshall (Warwick), Peter Harrison (Queensland), Stephen Clucas (Birkbeck College), and John Sutton (Macquarie).

About the facilitators:

Peter Marshall, Department of History, University of Warwick 

Professor Marshall’s research interests are in aspects of religious belief and practice in early modern Britain, particularly the cultural and political impact of the English Reformation.

Peter Harrison, Centre for the History of European Discourses, University of Queensland

Professor Harrison is currently editing his Gifford Lectures under the working title of ‘Science, Religion and Modernity’ and is also working on a project concerned with conceptions of progress in history and the historical sciences.

John Sutton, Department of Cognitive Science, Macquarie University 

Professor Sutton’s research focuses on the philosophy and sciences of memory, and covers two main areas: philosophy of psychology/cognitive science, and history of science.

Stephen Clucas, Department of English and Humanities, Birkbeck College, University of London

Dr Clucas is currently working with Timothy J. Raylor of Carleton College, Minnesota on an edition of Thomas Hobbes's De corpore for the Clarendon Edition of the Works of Thomas Hobbes.
