London Renaissance Seminar

The purpose of EMPHASIS (Early Modern Philosophy and the Scientific Imagination) is to provide a London forum for scholars working in the history of philosophy, intellectual history and the history of science of Europe in the period 1400-1650. The term ‘philosophy' is interpreted in its fullest Renaissance sense, and includes such themes as: Neoplatonism, scholasticism and late Aristotelian philosophy, Epicureanism, stoicism, scepticism, cosmological theories, the classification of the disciplines, encyclopaedism, Lullism, the art of memory, the philosophy of mathematics, theories of the soul, theories of language and signs, etc.

The Tudor Symposium is an informal research forum for scholars working in sixteenth-century English literature and related areas. So far it has well over a hundred members from all over the world, with research interests ranging across the full spectrum of English literature from Chaucer to Milton, but with a central emphasis on writing from the Tudor period. The list of members is intended to help put scholars in touch with one another by indicating shared interests and projects.
