Please note that while these sessions are only open to registered participants, the public is welcome to attend the opening keynote lecture by Prof. David Armitage (Harvard) on ‘Cosmopolitanism and Civil War’ and the final keynote lecture by Prof. Quentin Skinner (QMUL) on ‘Why Shylock loses his case: judicial rhetoric in The Merchant of Venice‘. Both keynote lectures will be held at PP1, People’s Palace, QMUL.
Important update: The venue for the final keynote lecture on the 8th of September has changed to Bancroft 2.40 (2nd floor of the Bancroft Building).
