The Future of Early Modern Scottish Studies
“The Future of Early Modern Scottish Studies” is a two-day international conference which will be held at the University of St Andrews on 13 and 14 January 2017.
St Salvator’s Chapel in 1843
Our aim is to provide a space for a wide variety of scholars to come together and share their research, plans, and ideas covering all aspects of early modern Scotland. Presenters include over twenty leading scholars from across the British Isles and beyond.
The conference will consist of roundtable discussions and lightning talks as well as traditional papers and will be video recorded throughout. These recordings will subsequently be made available through this website to provide a longer term teaching and learning repository.
This conference is generously supported by the Institute of Scottish Historical Research.
The Global Reading Group, established in February 2013, is a virtual literary salon that follows Horace’s definition of the aims of poetry, “either to please or to educate” (“aut delectare aut prodesse est”). We generally read and discuss one classic work of literature every four weeks.
