Apply Now for Spring Seminars!

Faculty and graduate students with relevant research projects are welcome to apply by 7 January 2013 for Folger Institute seminars on the politics of English law, women's pedagogy, the Atlantic world, and the orality/literacy heuristic. Beginning in late January, Paul Halliday (University of Virginia) will direct "Law as Politics in England and the Empire, ca. 1600-1830," a weekly seminar that will consider instances when English law impacted practices outside England. In early March, Margaret Ezell (Texas A&M University) will direct a faculty weekend seminar, "Acquiring Education: Early Modern Women's Pedagogies," as part of the Institute's continuing series on Early Modern English Pedagogies. Applications are invited from scholars working on the changing definitions of literacy, the function of case studies in creating women's literary history, the forms of education outside of the "three Rs," and how scholars might research early modern women and their various educations. In the late-spring, Nicholas Canny (National University of Ireland, Galway) will direct "Contestations of Religion and Natural History in the Atlantic World" to provide a comparative look at how the New World challenged traditional European ways of thinking. In mid-June, Adam Fox (University of Edinburgh) and Paula McDowell (New York University) will co-direct a faculty weekend seminar, "The Orality/Literacy Heuristic," in which scholars will examine the profoundly influential cultural narrative of the "orality/literacy" rubric and its continuing implications for research in the early modern humanities.
