The Sixteenth Century Society (SCS) is pleased to invite proposals for individual presentations, panels, and roundtables for its annual conference, which will take place October 31-November 2, 2024, at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel. Please note that this conference will begin on Thursday morning and end on Saturday evening.
The Sixteenth Century Society promotes a broad range of scholarship on the early modern era (c. 1450-c. 1660). We encourage submissions from international scholars and warmly welcome advanced graduate students, independent and early-career scholars, and postdoctoral researchers.
We invite proposals in the following fields:
- Art & Architectural History
- Digital Humanities & Pedagogy
- English Literature
- French Literature
- German & Dutch Studies
- Global History
- History
- History of Science & Medicine
- Interdisciplinary Studies
- Italian Studies
- Professional & Career Development

- Spanish, Portuguese, & Latin American Studies
In addition to standard panels with three presenters, the program committee encourages proposals for other types of presentations including but not limited to the following:
- Affiliated Society Sponsored Roundtables
- General Roundtables and Workshops
- Poster and Digital Presentations
The conference will also host lightning talks that will showcase posters and digital presentations in a conference common area afterwards. These lightning talk panels will offer presenters 5-7 minutes (depending on the number of panelists) to share the crux of their current research in either a poster or digital form followed by an exhibit. Those who are interested in contributing to a lightning talk session should submit their proposals as papers to the Digital Humanities & Pedagogy track and indicate in the proposal that the proposal is a poster lightning talk.
The deadline to submit proposals is Monday, April 22, 2024. Visit the Sixteenth Century Society (SCS) site for more information and to submit a proposal.
