Welcome to the first ever Early Modern Work in Progress Newsletter. We thought it would be nice to keep the list updated about what members have been up to over the past year. We’ve also included some announcements about upcoming conferences, workshops, jobs, etc.
Our website has now finally been updated with\u00a0future events<\/a>. On December 12 we’ll be discussing texts by Laura Gowing (History, KCL) and Filippo de Vivo (History, Birkbeck). Please look forward to more information about this event by email.
All best,
Allie, Hannah, R\u00f3is\u00edn, Kat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hannah Murphy<\/strong>‘s first book has just come out with the University of Pittsburgh Press.\u00a0A New Order of Medicine; the Rise of Physicians in Reformation Nuremberg<\/em>\u00a0is available to order\u00a0here<\/a>. (In the acknowledgments, she mentions EMWIP by name–the first instance in print if we are not mistaken.)\u00a0Hannah extends an invitation to the first public engagement event around her project at KCL. “Carnivore” is a mixed-media performance piece responding to the work of the\u00a0Renaissance Skin<\/a>\u00a0project (and, incidentally, choreographed by Hannah’s brother,\u00a0Luke Murphy<\/a>). It will take place at 6pm on 13th December 2019 at The Exchange in Bush House.

Lucian Staiano-Daniels<\/strong>\u00a0is preparing two articles, one a microhistory of Imperialist soldiers in Hesse, one on early modern military law. “A major article of mine just came out about how we can determine real troop strength (not paper troop strength) for early 17th-century armies. It took four years of work and contains tables that track the real army strength by month for Electoral Saxony for thirty years.” See\u00a0\u201cDetermining Early Modern Army Strength: The Case of Electoral Saxony,\u201d\u00a0The Journal of Military History<\/em>\u00a083:4 (October 2019): 1001-20. Abstract and those tables\u00a0here<\/a>.\u00a0Lucian is also looking for a German collaborator for a\u00a0GHI-funded project on Migrants’ Knowledge<\/a>.\u00a0Ideal would be “a\u00a0German early-career postdoc who is also interested in movement and mobility, either an early modernist or a historian who focuses on war or migration related to war. It might benefit the application if you were more straightforwardly a historian of migration or settlement.” Get in touch if that describes you or someone you know:\u00a0luciasdan@gmail.com
