The Early Modern Interdisciplinary Graduate Forum (EMIGF) is a monthly event hosted by the Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies (CRRS) at the University of Toronto. EMIGF is a platform for PhD candidates, post-docs, fellows, and recent graduates to deliver papers in an informal setting. Our mandate is to provide junior and emerging scholars with the opportunity to present work in progress, and to facilitate dialogue on current topics in early modern research across the disciplines.

EMIGF meetings feature two speakers who each deliver a paper (20-25 minutes each), followed by a question and discussion period with the audience, guided by a moderator. Now in its twelfth consecutive year, EMIGF meetings are well attended by graduate students, faculty, and fellows from the early modern community at the University of Toronto and beyond.

We have opted to hold our 2023-2024 meetings in a hybrid model. All meetings will continue to be scheduled once a month between 4:00-5:30 pm on a Tuesday or Wednesday. If you would like to attend one of our events online, please visit the events page for each session and register using the link.
