Young Researchers Day 2025 

GEMS (Group for Early Modern Studies) is organising a work-in-progress session for MA students working in early modern (broadly defined) studies. We want to create a low threshold and open setting for students to present their work and receive useful feedback.

In this session, students will give a poster presentation (in English) on their current research. The presentation aims to help students fine-tune their research and is a great opportunity to get feedback from your peers and experienced researchers in the field of early modern cultural history and literature. The presentation can be about a specific chapter or your research methodology, or an outline of your thesis. We don’t expect your research to be in a finalised stage: feel free to come with drafts and invite your peers to think along with you!

The seminar will take place on Wednesday 23 April 2025 from 3pm. We aim for seven-minute presentations with ample time for questions. GEMS will finance the print costs for the posters. Refreshments will be provided.
