The Center for Eighteenth-Century-Studies has hosted a Spring Workshop every year (excepting 2020) since 2002. The typical format consists of intense discussion of pre-circulated papers and an occasional lecture, interspersed with ample opportunities for socializing and refreshment. Participants are selected by an interdisciplinary committee.  We are typically able to cover most costs due to travel for all chosen participants.

The theme of the Spring Workshop is announced in autumn of the previous year.  Proposals for papers and contributions are due in January.  Please do see our online open-access journal, The Workshop, for abstracts, comments, and transcripts of discussions from previous Workshops.

This year's Workshop will be held on May 16-18, 2024, on the theme, "The Magical Eighteenth Century."  Check back soon for our CFP.
