Reading Groups bring together scholars, post-docs, visiting researchers, and graduate students from across local universities in Montreal. The aim is to provide an intellectual platform where members can engage with the latest scholarship in the field and present and discuss their own original work around an area focus. Reading groups are open to all interested parties.
Current groups
Pre-Modern Medicine and Science (PREMAS)
The PREMAS reading group is concerned with the histories of medical and scientific knowledge, broadly construed, in global contexts before 1800. We meet monthly at SSoM to debate the latest scholarship in the field and to exchange ideas on our own ongoing research. Refreshments are provided, and all are welcome to join us!
