Greetings!
This list announces talks in the greater Boston area pertaining to the study of the early modern period ca. 1350-1800, in any discipline and with any regional specialization. This
year we are announcing online events and activities relevant to the Boston area. Please forward announcements of virtual socials, web-meetings, online exhibits, and application deadlines for future conferences in our region. We’re planning a mailing roughly
every two weeks—please therefore send notices of events at least two weeks in advance. Please forward announcements, in the format requested at the end of this message, and e-mail addresses to:
earlymod@fas.harvard.edu.
For security reasons the list will not disseminate zoom links directly, but we can list an email contact to which to write for further details about attending. Alternatively, we
can circulate registration information for events. All times are EST.
