Joining the University Seminar on Early Modern France
The University Seminar on Early Modern France is the continuation of a group known as the "Early Modern Salon," which was founded by students of the Department of French and Romance Philology. Its membership consists primarily of graduate students and professors from the French Department, as well as students and faculty from related fields.
Membership is by invitation but we welcome inquiries from interested members of the Columbia community, as well as scholars from the New York area. If invited to join, members generally participate in the Seminar on a trial basis before being promoted to full membership.
Members receive articles in advance of each bi-weekly meeting and these texts are often unpublished or pre-release works. Seminar Members are also periodically invited to members-only dinners with featured guests and other visiting scholars. Seminar Associates (non-Columbia Members) are granted certain additional University privileges once they are approved for full membership in the Seminar.
