The workshop “Drinking in the Ancient, Medieval, and Early Modern World” focuses on the social and cultural meanings of drinking in premodern societies—the eras before the scientific revolution and industrialization. The program consists of individual presentations focusing on different eras and themes, as well as a keynote presentation by Dr. Mark Hailwood. He is an Associate Professor in Early Modern History at the University of Bristol, and he has studied the sociability of alehouses and the experience of work in early modern England.
The deadline for abstracts is 3 July 2026.
