ISIH ECR Workshop, late 2021
Testing the viability of future projects and fleshing out their substantive details is an essential part of drafting new proposals. Yet owing to the pressures of the job market as well as demands of various ongoing commitments, early career scholars rarely come by opportunities outside their supervisory teams or small circles of usually already familiar colleagues to rigorously discuss or receive more extensive criticism on their plans for future research, let alone to speak or defend their ideas publicly before presenting them at job interviews or similar settings.
This series of events is therefore designed to offer platforms for scholars working in intellectual history to discuss and develop proposals for new projects and funding applications. The line-up of speakers includes late-stage PhD candidates, post-docs, and early-career lecturers on fixed-term contracts, many of whom are currently on the job market. Scholars at all career stages are welcome, and indeed encouraged, to attend and participate in discussion.
Each speaker is allocated 30 minutes, of which no more than 10 minutes should be dedicated to outlining their project proposals, leaving plenty of time for questions and discussion. Project abstracts will be made available to registered participants, speakers, and attendees alike; registration is required in order to gain access to abstracts and meeting links.
The workshops will be held over four sessions, on 26 August, 2 September, 9 September, and 16 September.
