Warwick’s Centre for the Study of the Renaissance has announced a joint Summer School in Venice with the Charles S. Singleton Center for the Study of Premodern Europe (Johns Hopkins University) and the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere e Arti.

The Summer School (27 May-7 June 2019) will have as its theme Cultural Exchange in Renaissance Europe: Texts and Objects, and will be largely taught by academic staff at Warwick and JHU. It will include lectures, seminars, and many site visits, both in Venice and in Padua and Bologna. It will treat Venice as an instance of the intense cultural exchanges that took place across Europe in the period.

Doctoral students from across the world are invited to take part in this interdisciplinary summer school, where the main language of teaching will be English. Preference may be given to students who are already working on their dissertations.

Further information and instructions on how to apply are available at https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/ren/jhu/summerschool2019 . The deadline for applications is Monday 18 February. Questions about the programme may be directed to Mrs Jayne Sweet (renaissance@warwick.ac.uk), the administrator of Warwick’s Centre for the Study of the Renaissance.
