The Women\u2019s Studies Group 1558-1837 is a small, informal, multidisciplinary group formed to promote women\u2019s studies in the early modern period and the long eighteenth century. Established in the 1980s, the group has enabled those interested in women\u2019s and gender studies to keep in touch, hear about one another\u2019s research, meetings and publications, and meet regularly to discuss relevant topics. We organize regular meetings and an annual workshop (see membership application form) where members can meet and discuss women\u2019s studies topics. This season we shall also be hosting two book launches for publications by our members. We can offer advice and opportunities to engage in activities that increase opportunities for publication or enhance professional profiles in other ways. The WSG is open to men, women, and non-binary people, students, faculty, and independent scholars, all of whom are invited to join the group and give papers.<\/p>\n

The group now has two kinds of meetings for seminars.<\/p>\n

In-person seminar meetings.<\/strong>\u00a0These will take place at the Foundling Museum,\u00a040 Brunswick Square, WC1N 1AZ, UK<\/a>, on Saturday afternoons. We will be allowed into the room at 1.00 pm., to give us time to sort out paperwork and technology, but sessions will run from 1.30 \u2013 4.30 pm. So please arrive a little early if you can.<\/p>\n

ZOOM seminar meetings<\/strong>. These will take place on Thursday evenings and will be hosted by a member of the WSG committee. They will run from 19:00 \u2013 20:30 GMT , with the waiting room opening at 18.45 GMT.<\/p>\n

Topics can be related to any aspect of women\u2019s studies: not only women writers, but any activity of a woman or women in the period of our concern, or anything that affects or is affected by women in this period, such as the law, religion, etc. Male writers writing about women or male historical figures relevant to the condition of women in this period are also a potential topic. Papers tackling aspects of women\u2019s studies within or alongside the wider histories of gender and sexuality are particularly welcome; so are topics from the early part of our period. We would also welcome how-to presentations for discussion: examples of suitable topics would include, but are not limited to, grant applications, setting up research networks, becoming a curator, co-authorship, using specialised data, and writing about images. Papers should be 20-25 minutes.<\/p>\n
