CEMS is delighted to announce its first PGR workshop of the Winter ‘21 term – ‘Beginning a PhD in Early Modern Studies: A Roundtable Discussion’. The event brings together a panel of current PhD students and early career researchers to share their thoughts on what they've learnt about the process of starting a PhD. The speakers are drawn from departments of History, English, and Philosophy, but the workshop is aimed at all incoming and first-year PhD students of any discipline with an interest in the early modern period. Current MA students and those interested in pursuing a PhD are encouraged to attend as well.

Please register on Eventbrite in order to receive the attendance link.
The event will take place online, via Microsoft Teams, on Monday 8 November at 2pm GMT.
You do not need the Teams app or a Teams account to be able to join (instructions will be provided upon registration).

The workshop will open with informal opening remarks from the panel — what do they wish they had known at the outset? How did they cope in those early days? These remarks will be followed by a group discussion and the chance for attendees to ask plenty of questions. The session will be moderated by CEMS Director, Dr Hannah Murphy.

Panel:
Colette Olive (Philosophy)
Dom Birch (History)
Hassana Moosa (English)
