Welcome!

 

Founded in 1997, this interdisciplinary working group brings together faculty and graduate students for regular seminars and workshops to share work in eighteenth-century studies. Our members hail from many different departments at the University of Michigan and other regional institutions. ECSG activities receive funding from the Departments of English, Philosophy, History, Sociology, and History of Art, the Atlantic Studies Initiative, the Ninteenth Century Forum, the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, and the Rackham School of Graduate Studies.

 

Upcoming events for the Winter 2012 semester include:

 

Thursday 12 April, 4pm: "The Value of Time: Credit and Fashion in Eighteenth-Century France." A lecture by Clare Crowston (History, U of Illinois) 1014 Tisch Hall.

Tuesday 17 April, 4pm: Dissertation chapter workshop: "Fénelon’s Télémaque: the Literary Art of Government" with Russell Bucher (German, UC Berkeley.) 3241 Angell Hall

 

 

ECSG is currently seeking faculty and graduate students interested in helping to plan and produce seminars, workshops, and other events for the 2011-2012 academic year. Please contact Ruth McAdams if you are interested in becoming more involved with ECSG activities, or would like to be added to the group’s mailing list.
