The convenors of the Iberian History Seminar are pleased to announce the term card for Trinity Term 2024. The programme reflects the seminar's aim to range widely across the premodern history of the Iberian peninsula and beyond, with world-leading scholars and talented early career researchers presenting and discussing cutting-edge research.
The seminar will meet every fortnight from Week 4. There is a great lineup for this term with three speakers from the United States. We will begin in Week 4 with a talk by Zeb Tortorici (NYU) who will discuss his current work on the archiving/censorship of erotica and the “obscene” in Latin America. In Week 6, Eric Calderwood (Illinois Urbana-Champaign) will take us through the fascinating study of the legacy of al-Andalusi music. Tee series will conclude in Week 8 with a presentation by Claire Gilbert (SLU) on linguistic interaction between early modern Spain and Morocco.
In addition to our seminar series, we would like to highlight Henrique Leitão (Lisbon)'s talk on scientific knowledge and Portuguese exploration at the All Souls Seminar in Medieval and Early Modern History Science in Week 3 (all details here).
