he Society's five seminar series offer an excellent chance to meet accomplished scholars and authors. Join us to explore topics in-depth in a conversational setting, and help to shape works-in-progress. The stimulating and convivial atmosphere of these late afternoon sessions continues during the reception that follows each program. Session formats vary and include roundtables and panel conversations. However, with the exception of the New England Biography Seminar, most sessions revolve around the discussion of pre-circulated papers: after remarks from the presenters and an assigned commentator, the discussion is opened to the floor. Most programs take place at the Society, and all are welcome.
