Conferences

Post45 is committed to the discussion of work-in-progress among a relatively small group of scholars at our annual meetings. The format of the symposium ensures lively and substantive discussion of cutting-edge work in the field, and allows participants to exchange ideas and receive feedback while the work is still in development.
