| The Center for Renaissance Studies at the Newberry Library is pleased to announce that proposals for our 2025 Multidisciplinary Graduate Conference in Premodern Studies are now being accepted. This annual graduate student conference, organized and run by advanced doctoral students, has become a premier opportunity for emerging scholars to present papers, participate in discussions, and develop collaborations across all fields of medieval, Renaissance, and early modern studies. Participants from a wide variety of disciplines find a supportive and collegial forum for their work, meet future colleagues from other institutions and disciplines, and become familiar with the Newberry and its resources.
We invite proposals for papers from students in Masters or PhD programs on any humanities topic relating to material before 1800. We encourage submissions from disciplines as varied as the literature of any language, history, classics, anthropology, art history, music, comparative literature, theater arts, philosophy, political science, religious studies, transatlantic studies, disability studies, and manuscript studies. All papers must be given in English.
The 2025 conference program will include sessions relating to career diversity, professionalization, and rare book presentations in addition to the workshops and conference panels.
Preference is given to proposals from students at member institutions of the Newberry Center for Renaissance Studies Consortium, as well as students who did not present at the 2024 conference. We also welcome proposals from students of the Folger Institute Consortium. The deadline to submit a proposal is Tuesday, October 15, 2024 at 11:59pm Central Time.
