Our community of early modern scholars in the Los Angeles area is uniquely enriched by the EMSI Mellon postdoctoral scholars. This 20th Anniversary Conference of the USC-Huntington Early Modern Studies Institute will celebrate their scholarship, partnerships, and contributions to early modern studies. Below is the list of the former postdoctoral scholars who are able to travel to present their current research projects in October 2023. We look forward to seeing our colleagues and friends from across the nation at this special event.
