We invite all interested parties to join us for our annual meeting in Omaha, Nebraska, 21-23 March 2013.

We have two splendid keynote speakers this year.  Dr. Carole Levin, Willa Cather Professor of History at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, will present “Queens in Early Modern English Nationalist and Religious Discourse and Fantasy.”  Professor Debra Barrett-Graves, currently Vice President of both The South Central Renaissance Conference and The Queen Elizabeth I Society, will speak on “Spenser’s Emblematics in The Shepheardes Calender.”  

The deadline for submitting abstracts is 15 December 2012. To submit an abstract:

Please note that the conference organizers require two versions of your abstract: a longer one (3000 characters/500 words max) and a shorter one (750 characters/125 words max), as well as a brief bio (350 characters max). We also recommend that you click on the “abstract confirmation request” link at the bottom of the page.
