Our Conference
The early Modern period was a time of transition and transformation. Many historians would agree that this is a vital, but sometimes overshadowed, chapter in the history of England and Wales. This conference will be hosted by Postgraduates at Aberystwyth University. Our conference theme is the English and Welsh experience throughout the early modern world, not necessarily defined by nation, but instead characterised by people, their lives, and most importantly their experiences. We would like to invite historians, regardless of academic level or discipline, who specialise in Early modern England, Wales or the Atlantic and showcase historical research on the lived-in experience.
Our Interests
To make this conference accessible to as many researchers as possible, we are planning to create a multidisciplinary environment, promoting a network of early modern historians with Wales at its centre. We are considering the exploration of themes, including but not limited to:
- The emergence of new artistic and literary movements.
- Migration, movement, and social mobility.
- Faith, Religion, and Intellectual Culture.
- Gender, Sexuality, and Marginalized Communities.
- Power, Politics, and Diplomacy.
- Print and Material Culture.
- Science and Technology.
- War and Revolution.
We welcome all with a historic interest to send us contributions on these themes, particularly from Postgraduates, Early Career Historians, and recently graduated doctoral candidates.
