Call for Submissions



The Program Committee for the 2025 Annual Meeting of the Renaissance Society of America invites submissions for individual papers or sessions on any aspect of Renaissance studies or the era 1300–1700. The Committee especially welcomes submissions that cross disciplinary boundaries, as well as those that are discipline specific. Sessions sponsored by our Associate Organizations will make up approximately half of the program. The rest will consist of sessions and individual papers proposed by RSA members and selected by the Conference Program Committee.
