Visit CEMS
The Centre welcomes international early modern scholars as Centre affiliates. We welcome visiting scholars to ANU and invite them to take part in all Centre activities, including attending or presenting at our seminar series. The Humanities Research Centre (HRC) at ANU offers an annual Visiting Fellow Program to which early modern scholars may apply, with grants covering travel and accommodation, as well as visiting fellowships without grants. Scholars of gender in the early modern period may apply for a dedicated HRC ANU Gender Institute Fellowship as part of the annual round.
