Three Postdoctoral Researchers in Early Modern History Deadline: 8 May 2026 Visit website → Three postdoctoral research positions (35 months each) are available within the project 'Travellers’ interactions in early modern Italy' (TRAVEL), funded by a Consolidator Grant from the Fondo Italiano per la Scienza (FIS-2023-02909), based at the Italian-German Historical Institute in Trento (PI: Sandra Toffolo). This three-year project focuses on interpersonal encounters involving travellers in the Italian peninsula (1400-1600). It aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the practical aspects of interactions involving a wide range of people on the move and, in doing so, to address more general issues concerning early modern mobility. The members of the research team will each focus on a specific geographical area, examining different aspects of encounters involving travellers: legislation, the use of urban space, communication, and material culture.

Freedom of Conscience in the Pre-Enlightenment (1000-1650) University of Cambridge, Faculty of English, 17th June 2026 Call for Papers deadline - 28 May 2026 Abstract: This conference seeks to further our understanding of freedom of conscience, a notion all too often associated with the Enlightenment and its legacy in the modern day. With this in mind, we chose to organise this conference to invite perspectives on material well removed from the Revolutionary Age. Although not within the reach of all, freedom of conscience is considered an unalienable right akin to freedoms of expression and speech, as noted in Articles 18 and 19 of the UN Charter. However, if we turn to the Medieval period, and its great diversity of innovative religious writing, particularly in the contested context of Arundel’s decrees; or in the works of Protestant writers writing in the sixteenth century, such as Sebastian Castellio, it is clear that the mechanics of external oppression upon an individual’s inner life already existed in clear and comprehensible terms. Therefore, the (broad) question we would like to answer is: if we look beyond the eighteenth century, do we see this idea gradually become concrete? Contributions: We invite contributions from scholars of all disciplines. We particularly want to hear from those who have identified anxieties surrounding freedom of conscience in material where it may not be expected, for example in dramatic works, administrative papers, or travel writing. We would also like to emphasise that we very much encourage contributions from those working on non-European contexts, and those working on colonialism or colonialism-adjacent topics. Given the wide net we’re casting here, we encourage contributors to consider how to best refashion and present their findings to an audience unfamiliar with the subject matter. It is our hope that this gathering will allow us to identify recurring patterns across all historical and geographic contexts.
Please consider the following topics: ● The mobility of ideas (including the spoken word, vernacular writing, print culture, the epistolary, manuscripts etc…). ● Social and individual anxieties. ● Religious and/or secular freedom of conscience. ● Freedom of conscience amidst imperialism. ● Freedom of conscience in armed conflict. ● Social structures and social hierarchy. ● Freedom of conscience in relation to gender. ● Material representation. Submission Guidelines: The conference will take place June 17 in the Faculty of English, University of Cambridge. The conference will be conducted in English, but we very much encourage bilingual presentations. Presentations should last about 15 minutes. A light lunch will be provided. Please send your proposals (c.250 words) and a brief CV (max 1 page) to Anthony Stonestreet (ams330@cam.ac.uk) and Rachael Hodgson (reh89@cam.ac.uk). We look forward to hearing from you!

A call for a co-editor, which reads: The Journal of Religious History is seeking expressions of interest in the role of co-editor of the Journal to work alongside Dr Celeste McNamara. The new co-editor will take over from Dr Miles Pattenden. The position would run for a three-year period, subject to a one-year probationary period, with potential for renewal for a second three-year term, if so desired. The JRH is published by Wiley and engages an Editorial Manager (Professor Paul Watt) to work on practical matters relating to the Journal, as well as benefiting from support from Wiley staff and an international editorial board. While the position is a voluntary one, the agreement between Wiley and the Religious History Association may allow for limited travel support each year to promote the journal, subject to the approval of the RHA executive committee. The tasks involved in editing JRH vary considerably from week to week some weeks we are only required to answer a few emails, other weeks require a full day's work making decisions on articles and proofreading. On average, each editor probably spends 4-6 hours per fortnight on the role. The main tasks involved are: representing the Journal at appropriate events attending committee meetings of the Religious History Association to report on the JRH working with the Editorial Manager to make initial decisions about sending articles for review keeping the database of reviewers updated making decisions on each article based on the reviewers' recommendations corresponding with authors about these decisions checking revisions for Early View proofreading and approving each issue approving the table of contents selecting an image for the cover shortlisting articles for the annual prize Applications (a letter outlining qualifications, experience and fit with the Journal and Association's general remit, and a brief CV) should be submitted by May 1, 2026, to: Professor Megan Cassidy-Welch mcassidywelch@divinity.edu.au
