ERC/UKRI project „Cultures of Philosophy: Women Writing Knowledge in Early Modern Europe“; Univ. of Exeter (Web)
Time: 11.-12.11.2026
Venue: virtual space – via Exeter
Registration (Web)
As part of the ERC/UKRI project, a two-day online workshop will be hosted by the Univ. of Exeter. The aim of this workshop is to share case studies and best practice regarding the teaching of early modern women’s philosophical writing in HE, across languages, disciplines and national settings. We intend to bring together teachers and researchers in HE with members of subject organisations to reflect on what’s working and what could be changed to improve the visibility of and engagement with early modern women’s philosophical writing, broadly conceived.
