RCH Seminar
The RCH seminar offers doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers the opportunity to present their research and builds on RCH's existing international collaboration through online seminars organised by the CEEPUS Women Writers in History and the DARIAH Women Writers in History working group. These groups have jointly organised a series of online seminars on women authors in digital humanities over the past two years. These seminars have enabled early-career researchers to present their work and receive feedback and encouragement for their future research.
