The Institute of Medieval and Early Modern Studies (IMEMS) at Durham University is delighted to announce a new series of online palaeography courses to run from 25th November – 6th December 2024:
You can find full details and application forms on their website: www.imemsdurhamlearn.com.
The courses provide quality skills training to facilitate working with manuscripts, whether at graduate level or for those working in a professional environment as a librarian, archivist, etc. Feedback from former students highlights the quality and breadth of the content, the flexibility of the course and the opportunity to engage with a great range of optional videos.
The courses will run 25th November – 6th December. These are online, full-time courses that consist of asynchronous content and daily live sessions, which are duplicated to allow students from multiple time zones to join. Students will receive feedback on a portfolio of transcriptions after the course, as well as continued access to the asynchronous material for two months.
There are limited spaces (24 students per course) and applications are now open. We would appreciate it if you could circulate this announcement via your networks. Please get in touch if you have any questions or queries.
The final deadline for applications is November 10th 2024, but we encourage early applications as places will be offered to successful candidates on a first-come, first-served basis.
Folger Institute Short-Term Fellowships for 2022-2026
Each year the Folger Institute awards research fellowships to create a high-powered, multidisciplinary community of inquiry. This community of researchers may come from different fields, and their projects may find different kinds of expression. But our researchers share cognate interests in the history and literature, art and performance, philosophy, religion, and politics of the early modern world.
For the 2025-26 fellowship year, short-term fellows will have the option to take their fellowship fully onsite, fully virtual, or a combination of the two. Applicants may propose any research schedule that best fits their project’s needs.
Short-term fellowships support scholars whose work would benefit from significant primary research for one, two, or three months, with a monthly stipend of $5,000 per month in residence and $4,000 per month for virtual. These fellowships are designed to support a concentrated period of full-time work on research projects that draw on the strengths of the Folger’s collections and programs.
The deadline for short-term fellowship applications is January 15, 2025.
The next session of the 2024 ANZAMEMS ECR/Postgraduate reading group is scheduled for Tuesday, October 22. This will be a session on the topic of Witch Trials and Emotion. See schedule below.
All readings and any updates to the schedule will be shared through the reading group’s Google Drive folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Qi0W8i-38w0Dgwia9jJ0aDCh5OEQjpRF?usp=sharing
