Join GEMS on the 22nd of April for the Young Researcher’s Day, a work-in-progress session by MA students where they will be presenting their research through a short poster presentation, with ample time for questions. The presentations aim to help students fine-tune their research and are a great opportunity to get feedback from their peers and other researchers in the field of early modern cultural history and literature.
Location: Library Lab, Magnel Wing – 11am-3pm
Presentations:
- Widow Immolation (Sati) as a Religious Practice: Crystallisation of a European Image of India in the 18th Century
- The Late Medieval and Early Modern in Macbeth: The Transgressive Power of Blood, the Body and the Supernatural
- European Science Theories in 18th Century Latin America: The Almanacs of Cosme Bueno
- Early Modern Death: The Function and Form of Death in Everyman, The Faerie Queene, “Death Be Not Proud”, Paradise Lost and The Pilgrim’s Progress
- Trauma and Cognition in 20th Century Fiction

We encourage researchers who are interested to attend and register through this form by the 17th of April. Lunch and refreshments will be provided. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact eru.fevery@ugent.be and caroline.baetens@ugent.be
We hope to see you there!
