Interdisciplinary Colloquium with Ramie Targoff

Members of the early modern community at the UW-Madison are invited to present their current work as part of an interdisciplinary colloquium organized around Professor Targoff's visit to campus. We are eager to receive abstracts or titles of papers from any faculty members or graduate students who are working in the area of religion and early modern culture (broadly construed) and who would be interested in making a brief presentation of their current work: we imagine small panels of 3 speakers drawn from different disciplines, which will follow a keynote address by Prof. Targoff.
