These include weekend conferences, symposia, semester-length seminars and skills courses, multi-session weekend seminars, and multi-session colloquia. Click here for an early peek at the slate of programs for 2012-2013, which includes offerings on the culture of early modern cities, sexuality and theater, teaching the history of the book, political theory under the British Empire, MA-level library research methods, early modern women's pedagogies, and religion and the writing of Atlantic World natural history.
