Focusing on sixteenth- through eighteenth-century British cultural studies, the Early Modern Center creates courses around innovative annual themes; supervises the English department's undergraduate specialization in Early Modern Studies; organizes colloquia and conferences; produces an online gallery of images and archive of internet resources; and maintains rare books in its library as well as critical reviews on its website.
In 2004-2005, the EMC’s theme will be memory. The English 10 courses taught in affiliation with the EMC will likewise consider issues related to memory, in addition to undertaking an introduction to literary study. Students participating in these English 10 courses will explore such concepts as cultural and individual memory, memorializing, forgetting, the sense of a past, adaptations, archiving, and trauma studies.
