TEMS

Welcome to TEMS

Theorizing Early Modern Studies (TEMS) is a collaborative, interdisciplinary workshop investigating Europe and the wider world during the early modern period (late 16th-early 19th centuries). TEMS has three primary endeavors: 1) to undertake and promote research that moves beyond traditional Liberal Arts themes, methodologies, and disciplinary divisions; 2) to create conditions promoting truly collaborative research involving the humanities and social sciences; 3) to further both the research of participants and the field-shaping conversations to which their work contributes.

  • TEMS Organizers:

Juliette Cherbuliez, Associate Professor, Department of French and Italian
Michael Gaudio, Associate Professor, Department of Art History
Matthias Rothe, Assistant Professor, German, Scandinavian and Dutch
J.B. Shank, Associate Professor, Department of History
