The aim of this session is to highlight the current scholarship of PhD candidates and recent PhDs of early modern print. Papers engaging with new methodologies or objects of inquiry are especially encouraged. Our intention is to provide PhD candidates and recent PhDs an opportunity to share their fresh perspectives on the study of early modern print and receive constructive feedback from an international audience.

-abstract (150-word maximum)
