_About ESPRit_

The European Society for Periodical Research is an international 
scholarly organisation that promotes, fosters and disseminates research 
on all aspects of European periodical cultures from the seventeenth to 
the twenty-first century. It has a thoroughly interdisciplinary agenda 
and multilingual approach, and transcends specific thematic interests.

Though its emphasis is on European periodical research, it also welcomes 
research extended to other related cultural areas (the Americas, East 
Mediterranean, Maghreb, etc.) ESPRit’s core publication, the Journal of 
European Periodical Studies (http://ojs.ugent.be/jeps), a biannual 
peer-reviewed online journal, publishes research from a broad range of 
critical, theoretical and methodological perspectives, including, but 
not limited to, cultural history, literary studies, art history, gender 
studies, media studies, history of science, and digital humanities. As 
the official journal of ESPRit, the Journal of European Periodical 
Studies offers scholars a forum for sharing their research and 
exchanging ideas across disciplinary borders.

_About the Workshop_

The Workshop is for Masters & PhD candidates who wish to participate in 
the organisation’s research activities. Sessions will focus on: (1) 
different theoretical and methodological approaches to periodical 
studies, which will be explored in workshop format with participants; 
and (2) the preparation of graduate researchers for professional 
engagement in the field of periodical studies. Selected candidates will 
have the opportunity to present their work and receive personalised 
feedback from workshop moderators. Confirmed workshop moderators include 
leading periodical scholars, Prof Laurel Brake, Prof Anne-Rachel 
Hermetet, Prof Matthew Philpotts, Prof Evanghelia Stead, Dr Céline 
Mansanti, Dr Hélène Védrine, etc.

The workshop will offer the opportunity to connect with people who are 
at a similar stage in their career as well as support and advice from 
later stage scholars and experts in the field.
