Doctoral Workshop in Medieval and Early Modern English Studies

The Geneva Doctoral Workshop in Medieval and Early Modern English Studies, now called the CUSO Doctoral Workshop in Medieval and Early Modern English Studies (see http://english.cuso.ch), has been meeting on a fortnightly basis in term time since the academic year 2007-2008. It is convened by Professors Guillemette Bolens and Lukas Erne, and attended by English Department PhD students, post-docs, and staff in medieval and early modern. Past sessions have covered topics such as: beginning and organising doctoral research, using digital resources, planning and perfecting conference presentations, how to get work published, writing book reviews, and chairing conference panels. Other sessions have offered opportunities for the presentation of work-in-progress papers, or have been devoted to special topics in medieval and early modern English studies.
