'Who were the Nuns?'
NEW RESEARCH PROJECT
(2008 - 2011)
Department of History: Queen Mary, University of London.
Professor Michael Questier and Dr. Caroline Bowden have secured funding for a major AHRC research project entitled, "Who were the Nuns? A Study of the English Convents in Exile in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries."
The doctoral student is yet to be announced. This project will provide an important contribution to the growing research into the great English Catholic Diaspora. Possible themes for the PhD include: patronage networks supporting the convents; the nature of the patronage offered by some of the convents to the Jacobites after 1688; changing of attitudes towards Catholicism in eighteenth-century England.
Female members of religious orders, particularly archivists, in the U.K. (and abroad) are particularly encouraged to contact Dr. Simon Johnson on spj104@york.ac.uk who will relay with the Project Co-ordinator).

Gosh - so the bishops have commissioned someone to write a history of the diaspora? Congratulations! (You must have a lot to talk to Katy Gibbons about! Give her my best, by the way). Anyway, I just came across your blog via an old post on "Roman Miscellany", and thought I ought to say hello. All the best!
Please be good enough to advertise this online petition amongst your readers, friends and contacts.
Thank you.
Michael.
