The Seven Series of MHS Seminars

MHS Seminars bring together a diverse group of scholars and members of the public to discuss works-in-progress from both rising and senior researchers. After brief remarks from the author and an assigned commentator, the discussion is opened to the floor. All programs will either be hybrid or entirely virtual this season. Attendance is free although registration is required in order to receive the paper under discussion 24 hours in advance of the program. Interested parties may also purchase a $25 subscription to receive advanced access to all seminar papers this season. Learn more about each series by clicking on the links below.


For more information, please visit www.masshist.org/research/seminars; register online at www.masshist.org/events. The first Seminar for this academic year is on 29 September 2022.

*This series looks at already published works.
