At our 6 March Workshop, the Committee for Renaissance and Early Modern Studies (CREMS) will pursue our interest in the study of the global Renaissance. Please join us for three presentations: Princeton's Paize Keulemans and Christina Lee will discuss travel and travel accounts respectively in early modern China and in the Spanish Pacific. Our guest is Michael Wintroub of the University of California, Berkeley, author of the prize-winning The Voyage of Thought: Navigating Knowledge across the Sixteenth-Century World (2017). On this occasion he turns his attention to the earliest European settlement in North America and ongoing issues concerning the surviving evidence of that settlement and how it is contested today.
