Modern Spanish History Doctoral Seminars
The Modern Spanish History Doctoral Seminar is a unique student-led initiative which enables postgraduate researchers from across the world to share their research in a supportive, multilingual environment. The organisers also hold occasional talks from some of the leading personalities in the field of modern Spanish history.
The purpose of the Modern Spanish History Doctoral Seminar has always been to act as a supportive forum for international researchers from any relevant field to share their findings and exchange ideas on the modern history of Spain. More than this, we hope to maintain and expand our strong community of doctoral students from across the world on the basis of our common commitment to a multidisciplinary understanding of modern Spanish history. To that end, we hold our weekly online sessions in English, Spanish or Catalan according to the preferences of the speaker. We welcome proposals from researchers at any stage of their work, but particularly those undertaking doctoral study, on any aspect of Spanish history from the 19th century onward.
For enquiries of any kind, get in touch at spainseminar@ed.ac.uk
Unless otherwise stated, all seminars are online from 4pm.
