Network for the Study of the Long Reformation

Recent scholarship recognises a “Long Reformation” stretching from the fourteenth to the eighteenth and even nineteenth centuries. The Long Reformation has been a focus of research in New College since its inception. The Network for the Study of the Long Reformation seeks to connect scholars and postgraduate students at the University of Edinburgh and further afield to foster new scholarly approaches to the Long Reformation in all its complexity and diversity.

The Network has four principal aims:

1. To give coherence to the study of the Reformation as a unified phenomenon while paying full attention to its multiple manifestations.
2. To bring together scholars working on disparate strands of the Long Reformation and provide a forum for dialogue and collaborative research.
3. To provide a hub for postgraduate and doctoral students working on the Long Reformation and to recruit and support the next generation of scholars in the field.
4. To promote public understanding of the Long Reformation and its legacy.
