Applications for next year's dissertation seminar at the Folger Shakespeare Library are due June 2. For those of you unfamiliar with this program, it is jointly run by a faculty member from History and from English. For the 2008-09 academic year, Jean Howard (Columbia) and Linda Levy Peck (George Washington University) will lead the seminar entitled "Researching the Archives" which is designed for doctoral candidates at work on their dissertations. Grants-in-aid to cover expenses to travel to and from the monthly seminar, and for two nights' accommodation, is available. For further information, consult the Folger Institute website on line, or see NYU's Folger liaison, Professor Karen Newman, in the Department of English.

CELCE is exceptionally pleased to announce our final event of the academic year: a roundtable on the problem of periodization in medieval and early modern studies. Join us, and take part in what is bound to be a lively and informative debate on some of the key issues in current scholarship.
