Participant Overview: “Enlightenment for All: Teaching the Eighteenth Century Beyond(?) the Academy”
ASECS Early Spring 2026 Webinar
Date: Friday, February 6, 2026
Time: 12:00 p.m. (Central)
Registration: Zoom Link
Purpose of the Event
This ASECS-sponsored webinar celebrates the breadth of eighteenth-century studies and the many places where it thrives: community colleges, high schools, museums, and public humanities spaces. It recognizes that innovative, impactful scholarship and teaching are happening well beyond the walls of research universities. We hope to continue this conversation as (hopefully!) part of the “Diverse Pathways Caucus” for future programming. We will also discuss meeting for an informal but exciting happy hour in Philadelphia at ASECS 2026.
The conversation will bring together educators and scholars who are advancing the study of the long eighteenth century in diverse environments and through creative pedagogical, research, and outreach models.
