The Anglo-Franco-American Graduate Student workshop in Early
Modern
Philosophy was established in 2013 as an annual event co-organised
between three
French and three American universities. It is designed as a forum
for PhD students
and their supervisors to meet, exchange, and present their work in
progress. This is
the first year that the Workshop will incorporate participants
form the UK. It is also
the first time that attendance will be open.
The Workshop will be held on Zoom. All are very welcome, and we
