Women in Intellectual History: The Early Modern Period

The International Society for Intellectual History is pleased to invite you to the seminar series Women in Intellectual History: The Early Modern Period, which will take place in December 2022 and January 2023.

Women thinkers and their writings are still underrepresented in the discipline of intellectual history. Despite decades-long efforts at canon-busting, research agendas and teaching curricula alike attest that much work remains to be done to counteract the bias of gendered historiographies. As a prominent meeting place for practitioners of the discipline in all stages of their careers and from various parts of the world, ISIH provides an ideal forum for the discussion of recent work in this crucial area of research.

Through a series of online meetings in late 2022 and early 2023, featuring selected presentations and commentary followed by discussion, early career researchers active in the field of early modern women’s intellectual history – across different specialisations and geographical boundaries – will be able to connect with each other and with senior scholars with matching
expertise.

Meetings will take place online via Zoom, Thursdays from 4–6pm (CET).
