About the Consortium for the Study of the Premodern WorldRecognized by 1.5 million dollars in start-up grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Consortium for the Study of the Premodern World at the University of Minnesota is an innovative humanities initiative connecting university researchers, established centers, and area cultural institutions to further our understanding of the foundations of the contemporary world.

About the CSPW Research Workshops: Each academic year, the Consortium for the Study of the Premodern World funds approximately twenty research workshops. These faculty- and graduate student-led initiatives involve scholars at the University of Minnesota as well as partners at local, national, and international institutions.
Research workshops address intellectual questions in global premodern studies and vary greatly in their topics of inquiry and workshop activities—ranging from small reading groups focused on a diverse global literature to workshops linked to graduate seminars, conferences, and major research initiatives. Consortium research workshops model collaboration across disciplines, chronologies, and geographies and have become the core of the consortium in terms of scope and level of participation.
