In June 2006 Dr Rachel Hammersley organized a very successful early modern studies dialogue day, at which ten members of staff and PhD students gave brief presentations on their research in order to identify areas of common interest. It was decided that over the next year we would continue to explore areas of shared concern by convening at least one reading group and one mini-symposium each semester.
