Imaginative Geographies: Travels of the Mind in Early Modern Europe

A Renaissance and Early Modern Studies conference

28 September 2011 at the University of Bristol

Organisers: REMS Postgraduate Researchers, University of Bristol

While Renaissance and Early Modern Studies are focused on the histories of the two and a half centuries between 1500 and 1750, the areas of research that the period encompasses are multi-disciplinary and wide-ranging.  A common thread is the spatial or geographical dimension.

This conference aims to attract a wide audience, to explore correspondences between geography and historical fields of research, to enable varied and cross-disciplinary discourses between scholars and students of the arts and sciences, and to enrich renaissance and early modern historical research with methodological and thematic diversity.
