Scholars
have been pushing the boundaries of the field of Renaissance Studies by
rethinking how this historical period could be reimagined differently
in the future. Graduate students have been playing an important role in
this endeavor. The RSA Graduate Student Committee aims to bring to light
the exciting and innovative research that graduate students have been
doing to push the field forward. During the last Lightening Talks, which
was held in February 2022, graduate students presented their research
and addressed how their work enables us to rethink the Renaissance
archive. Given the success of this event, we have decided to continue
the series in fall 2022. For the upcoming Lightening Talks we would like
to ask students to present work that allows us to "rethink the Global
Renaissance." We welcome the participation of students, from a variety
of disciplines, whose research re-imagines the spatial boundaries/scale
of the Renaissance world beyond Europe.
