Welcome to the Centre for Early Modern Studies at ANU
The Centre brings together a vibrant multidisciplinary group of humanities scholars and graduate researchers who study the long early modern period (1450-1800). Our research and teaching areas include history, art and design, literary and bibliographical studies, theatre and performance history, languages and historical linguistics, and the digital humanities. With four current ARC-funded projects totalling over $2 million, our researchers are developing new models of collaborative humanities research. We welcome you to explore our research, to make contact with us to share news of your projects, and to join our events and activities.
The Centre coordinates the International Consortium of Centres for Early Modern Studies (ICCEMS), partnering with the Centre for Early Modern Studies at Oxford, the London Renaissance Seminar, the Irish Renaissance Seminar and the Paris Renaissance Seminar. More details to come.
