  • MA in Cultural and Intellectual History 1300–1650
    MA in Cultural and Intellectual History 1300–1650 warburg.sas.ac.uk About the degree The Warburg Institute MA in Cultural and Intellectual History aims to equip students for interdisciplinary research in the late medieval and early modern period, with a particular emphasis on the reception of the classical tradition. Students will become part of an international community of scholars, working in a world-famous library. They will broaden their range of knowledge to include the historically informed interpretation of images and texts, art history, philosophy, history of science, literature and the impact of religion on society. During this twelve-month, full-time course, students will improve their knowledge of Latin, French and Italian and will acquire the library and archival skills essential for research on primary texts. Although it is a qualification in its own right, the MA is also designed to provide training for further research at doctoral level. It is taught through classes and supervision by members of the academic staff of the Institute and by outside teachers. The teaching staff are leading academics in their field who have published widely. Research strengths include: changes in philosophical trends between the Middle Ages and the Enlightenment; early modern material culture; and forms of religious non-conformism in sixteenth- and seventeenth- century Europe. For further details on the research interests of teaching staff see the module table in this leaflet or visit warburg.sas.ac.uk/about/people/teaching-staff “I came to study at the Warburg with a modicum of trepidation, due to the overwhelming reputation that precedes and surrounds the Institute.

  • Institute of Classical Studies
    SAS ANNUAL REPORT 1997-1998 PREFACE I am delighted to be able to present the fourth annual report of the School. Such a report can give only a brief and rather austere overview of a year of varied and intensive scholarly activity in all the subjects and disciplines covered by its Institutes and Programmes, but I hope that it may encourage readers not already familiar with the School to inquire further about things that have interested them. Institutes will welcome such inquiries, and a lively set of web pages is accessible via http://www.sas.ac.uk. In the course of the year the School developed in a new and exciting direction as a result of the decision of the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine to become an Associate of the School. The aim is to strengthen and multiply the informal links which have long existed between that Institute and various parts of the School, for the reciprocal enrichment of our academic programmes and the enhancement of research opportunities for users of the School's, and the Institute's, remarkable libraries. The collections have great complementary strengths. Moving among them should be easy, not just because of their physical proximity but also because they will, in future, use the same type of automated catalogue system. The co-operation agreement concluded last year with the Ecole Nationale des Chartes in Paris, and the arrival of the Wellcome Institute as an Associate, demonstrate the School's capacity to offer free passage to scholars across an ever-expanding landscape of humanities and social science research resources, without regard for national and institutional barriers.
