We congratulate the following GEMS-affiliated researches on their remarkable achievements from the past few months!
- Gulia Coppi presented her paper, “Will Spectators Always Be Spectators?”, at the Periodicals, History and Change: a Postgraduate Workshop, hosted at the historic Leeds Library. Her paper focused on the evolving role of 18th-century periodicals as venues for, and sources of, societal critique and change. She argued that for these publications to maintain their role, both their nature and content had to change, at least in part.
