Conference registration is now open

The Center for Renaissance Studies’ annual graduate student conference, organized and run by advanced doctoral students, has become a premier opportunity for graduate students to present papers, participate in discussions, and develop collaborations across the field 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 Library and its resources.

Each year since 2007, selected papers have been published in a peer-edited online conference proceedings.

The 2014 conference has been expanded to accommodate more students, with eighteen sessions and a total of seventy-two presenters.
