ALT Join the Northern Early Modern Network Committee! As some of our current committee members are moving on, we have two openings for our Events Team. As part of the Events Team, you will be in charge of organising our online events for the upcoming academic year (22/23). We currently host seminars and 'Works in Progress' sessions, though we would like to expand the variety and scope of our events in the upcoming months. You will be required to contact potential speakers, organise schedules, liaise with the various teams within NEMN, and chair the events. You must be able to commit for the full academic year. Prospective committee members should be based at a university in Scotland or the North of England.
