International Conference
Employing new methods of anthropological and cultural history, this conference seeks to go beyond the boundaries of individual institutional histories to explore comparatively the rituals, propaganda, and internal workings of a wide variety of early modern institutions. It will allow scholars from widely differing fields and interests in European and British history to compare their insights about institutional culture in an important period of institutionalization. The exciting program, detailed below, will culminate in a round table discussion by John Brewer, Anthony Grafton, Olwen Hufton, and Keith Wrightson.
