Call for papers
The LAGOOS Project (www.lagoos.org) is pleased to announce it’s upcoming workshop “Diaries of Scholarship. Comparative Perspectives on Diary-writing in Early Modern and Modern Europe” The event will take place on 19th September 2025 at the University of Innsbruck, Austria.
Submission Deadline: 04.05.2025
The workshop intends to explore the role of private diaries in recording and shaping intellectual life in the modern and early modern periods (ca. 1400–1900). Adopting a comparative approach, the workshop seeks to bring together researchers working on scholars’ diaries to allow analysis across historical periods, languages and geographical areas. We welcome contributions that examine the diaries of European intellectuals as tools of scholarly inquiry, expressions of intellectual identity, or as sources that reveal new insights on the cultural and linguistic landscapes of particular historical contexts.
Participants are encouraged to present specific case studies that explore the evolving nature of scholarly self-representation through diary-keeping and journalling in 15-minute presentations, which will be followed by discussion.
Abstract Submission
Scholars are invited to send abstracts of around 300 words accompanied by a brief academic biography of no more than 100 words to chiara.telesca@uibk.ac.at by 04.05.2025. The language of the workshop and of discussion will be English.
