Overview

This project will organise a network, hybrid workshop and publication on women in the Portuguese Empire during the early modern period, with a focus on two themes that have been overlooked by past literature: a global history of laws and of knowledges. Its main aim is to facilitate intellectual exchange among scholars of the global Portuguese empire and to publish a special issue in an international high-ranked journal to present much-needed state-of-the-art research on these themes.
