ANN: Society for Early Modern Catholic Studies

**********************************************

 

Last weekend, at the Sixteenth Century Studies Conference, we made the

decision to incorporate the two-year-old Society for Early Modern

Catholic

Studies (SEMCS).

 

The Society is committed to furthering an understanding of Catholic

issues

in the early modern world [approximately 1450-1750] and the cities,

regions, and countries that remained predominantly Catholic or were

divided

between Catholics and Protestants or Catholics and non-Christian

peoples.

The research focus of the Society is neither limited to Europe, nor to

a

particular academic discipline. Further, the Society itself is not

confessionally based. The Society was created in response to a need

for

more coherence and intellectual sharing among scholars who work on

Catholic-related subjects in the early modern world.

 

Membership is open to scholars in all fields of early modern studies

and to

all levels of post-bachelor's degree academic standing. Dues, in the

amount of $10.00 per year, cover an annual reception and

administrative

costs. In addition, portions will be set aside to provide financial

aid to

graduate students who wish to attend the Sixteenth Century Conference.

In

advance of the conference, the board will announce application

procedures.

 

The Society has a listserv discussion list, which is generally

low-volume.
