Conference submission process
The submission period for RSA 2020 Philadelphia will open in June 2019 and close in mid-August. Acceptance decisions will be conveyed to submitters in early November 2019.
The RSA Program Committee solicits proposals for both individual papers and organized sessions, which may take the form of a panel, roundtable discussion, or workshop. For more information on the types of proposals accepted, see the Submission guidelines page.
Calls for papers
Calls for papers can be found on the 2020 Philadelphia CfP Blog. Session organizers may post a call for papers by using the "Add New Post" link above the most recent entry (you must be logged in to a current rsa.org membership to create a post).
Seminar sessions
The RSA Program Committee invites proposals for topics for seminar sessions to be held at the Annual Meeting in Philadelphia. Each seminar session will be moderated by one or two conveners and will feature discussion of a set of papers circulated in advance of the conference. Seminar topics may address any theme of relevance to Renaissance studies (1300–1700). Seminars that encourage dialogue across disciplines and/or open up new fields are especially welcome.
Find more information and the link to the seminar proposal form on the Philadelphia 2020 Seminars page.
Conference hotels
We have booked accommodations and meeting rooms at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown and the nearby Courtyard Philadelphia Downtown, both of them a short walk from the famed Reading Terminal Market and City Hall. The Philadelphia Historic District, which was the first World Heritage city in the US, is also within walking distance or accessible by a short cab, bus, or subway ride. The Library Company of Philadelphia houses collections on American society and culture dating from the seventeenth century. The majestic Philadelphia Museum of Art, originally chartered for the Centennial Exposition in 1876, with its main building on Fairmont Hill completed in 1928, has pay-as-you-wish evening hours on Wednesdays and evening hours on Fridays as well.
Teaching the conference
Attending the conference can be a useful educational tool for undergraduates and beginning graduate students who are interested in learning about Renaissance studies or the academic profession generally. Professor Christopher Carlsmith wrote about his experience bringing undergraduates to the 2016 Annual Meeting in Boston.
Please contact rsa@rsa.org to request more information on bringing students to the Annual Meeting as a pedagogical tool.
Travel, diversity, and on-site care grants
RSA members are invited to apply for travel, diversity, and on-site care grants for the Annual Meeting in Philadelphia. Each grant has a separate application with different requirements. The deadline for all grant applications will fall in November 2019 (precise date TBA). For more information on eligibility and the grants application process, see the Conference grants page.

Centre for Low Countries Studies - 2018 Annual Lecture: Frans-Willem Korsten on The Cruelty of Freedom
Frans-Willem Korsten will present his latest book, A Dutch Republican Baroque: Theatricality, Dramatization, Moment and Event (UAP, 2017). He will discuss how two aesthetic formal modes, theatre and drama, were dynamically related to two political concepts, event and moment. This will lead to a new historical perspective on the Baroque as a specifically Dutch republican one, while at the same time demonstrating the relevance of analysing early modern literature by means of 20th century philosophy.

The mission of the UCL Low Countries Centre is to study a series of historic relationships and to nurture their further development in the present day:
- Connections between the Low Countries and neighbouring lands, including most importantly Great Britain
- Encounters between diverse groups, religions, and cultures within the Low Countries themselves
- Interactions of Dutch-speaking people around the globe, wherever Dutch language and culture have had or currently have an impact.
CALL FOR PAPERS: The George Herbert Society Fifth Triennial Conference
George Herbert in Paris: "Bee Covetous, then, of all good which you see in Frenchmen"
May 18-May 21, 2017
Confirmed Keynote Speakers:
In 1618 George Herbert wrote to his brother Henry, who was in Paris, imploring him to make the best of his time there: "Bee covetous, then, of all good you see in Frenchmen, whether it be in knowledge, or in fashion, or in words; .so shall you play a good marchant by transporting French commodities to your own country."
Meeting in the Latin Quarter, near Saint-Michel and the Panthéon, at the Universities of the Sorbonne Nouvelle (Paris 3) and Paris-Sorbonne (Paris 4), our Paris Conference encourages papers that will examine the knowledge, the ideas, the words, and even the fashions that the Herbert family members looked to import from the Paris region or from France, and beyond that to the Herberts, Europe, religion and the arts.
We are seeking proposals on aspects of George Herbert studies, focusing on his poetry or prose. Papers may consider historical, cultural, and discursive contexts for his works, examine rhetorical or lyric strategies afresh, or explore previously unknown or overlooked facets of Herbert's work and his relationship to both people and topics in the seventeenth century. We welcome proposals from both established scholars in the field as well as newcomers to the George Herbert Society and graduate students. Topics of interest will include Herbert's ties to Paris and the European continent, Herbert and the Baroque, Herbert and continental poetry, Herbert and the French Reformation, Herbert and Francophilia/Francophobia, Herbert and language(s), Herbert and translation, Herbert and war, Herbert and the Psalms, Herbert and books, Herbert and music, Herbert and pleasure, Henry Herbert, Edward Herbert and French Philosophy, Edward Herbert and his ambassadorship in France, and more. We also invite proposals for papers on French poets who resonate with George Herbert's style, faith, epistemology, or aesthetics and a panel dedicated to discussing George Herbert's "The Forerunners." Proposals may be in either English or French as we hope to bring out the European dimension of Herbert's sources of inspiration.
This list is not intended to limit the scope of papers, but to suggest directions. We hope to be inclusive.
Abstracts in English or in French of no more than 300 words accompanied by a brief CV should be sent to the conference organizers at Herbert in Paris, by July 15, 2016.
Notifications of acceptance: September 15, 2016. Early submissions are welcome!
Anyone may submit an abstract, but only members of the Society may deliver a paper.
Information regarding accommodation and registration will follow in the fall.
