CMRS Workshop: Remapping British Protestant Thought in the Long Reformation

Polly Ha (Duke Divinity School) and Anastasia Stylianou (University of East Anglia) are guest editing a special issue of JMEMS, "Remapping British Protestant Thought in the Long Reformation," to be published in Jan. 2023. At this workshop, the contributors will present early versions of their work and receive feedback to consider as they continue their writing. Each paper will be roughly 20 min. followed by 30-35 min. of discussion and a short 5-10 min. break between. Faculty and graduate students are welcome to attend the entire day or pop in and out for select presentations.
