The fortnightly Geneva workshops, which have been in existence for some time and are attended and regularly contributed to by PhD students and staff from all CUSO universities and CUSO associated universities, respond to the need, expressed by PhD students, for regular, short bursts of training and a structure to which they belong. They cover practical topics such as using digital resources in medieval and early modern English studies; focused discussion of key medieval and early modern texts (e.g., Chaucer, Shakespeare) or scholarly issues (e.g., codicology, bibliography); and work-in-progress papers. The workshops usually last two-to-three hours.

25 March, Book Launch: A Defence of Pretence: Civility and the Theatre in Early Modern England (Princeton University Press, December 2025), by Indira Ghose; and Conrad Ferdinand Meyer, Footprints (Alma Books, April 2026), translated by Anthony Mortimer (1936-2025) 

In this workshop, Professor Indira Ghose (University of Fribourg) will present and have us engage with her recently published monograph. We will also present the last and posthumously published book of translations by the late Anthony Mortimer, who was Indira Ghose’s predecessor as professor of English literature at the University of Fribourg.
