Early career researchers (those of PhD, post-doc or Assistant Professor status) are encouraged to sign up to attend this one day symposium. The topic is Representing Sovereignty 1485-1714, loosely construed. Professor Carole Levin and Dr Elizabeth Goldring will be giving keynotes in the course of the day and the event will culminate with a woodland performance of Ben Jonson’s 1603 Entertainment at Althorp which welcomed James I’s wife and son, Queen Anne and Prince Henry, to England on his accession.
There is no charge for the symposium but we have a cap of 35 participants and will have to operate a first come, first served policy if we are oversubscribed. The call for papers has closed but you can still sign up to attend the symposium. The final closing date for the submission of this form is 1st July 2016.
The symposium will be between 10.30-5.30 and the Entertainment will start at 6 and will be over within the hour. There will be a pay-as-you-go supper on campus afterwards to which all participants would be welcome.
We have two further events scheduled for the next day: a roundtable about interdisciplinarity and a talk about the US job market. You can indicate below if you'd like to attend them (no need to sign up separately on the Warwick internal form). There may be some reasonably priced (£13 or £20) rooms available on campus for the night of 13th July but unfortunately Warwick Accommodation will not be able to confirm this until much later. Please indicate below if you would be interested in this option (as a back-up one might book a room elsewhere with free cancellation).
This form is closed and is no longer accepting any submissions.
Thank you for your time.
