ShBemss – Sheffield Hallam/Bangor Early Modern Seminar Series
ShBemss was established in 2020 as an opportunity for early modernists to share their research online during the challenging conditions of that year. This is an international seminar series, drawing speakers and participants from across the UK, Europe, North America, Australasia – and the network continues to grow! The series is administered by Professor Lisa Hopkins (Shefffield Hallam) and Professor Andrew Hiscock (Bangor) and typically offers a seminar event each month on a Tuesday at 3pm (GMT) during the academic year. We warmly welcome new members. This series offers a positive environment to researchers at all levels in their careers for the presentation of their unpublished work. Research papers range over literary, historical and cultural topics for the period 1500-1800 and the coordinators are always willing to receive suggestions for future presentations.
If you are interested in joining the network or sharing your research, then please contact us on:
We look forward to hearing from you!
