2026 New College Conference on Medieval & Renaissance Studies

We're back!

After a hiatus in 2024, the twenty-third biennial New College Conference on Medieval and Renaissance Studies will take place 5–7 March 2026 in Sarasota, Florida. The program committee invites 250-word abstracts of proposed twenty-minute papers on topics in European and Mediterranean history, literature, art, music and religion from the fourth to the seventeenth centuries. Planned sessions are welcome, and interdisciplinary work is particularly appropriate to the conference’s broad historical and disciplinary scope. The deadline for all abstracts is 10 October 2025; for submission guidelines or to submit an abstract, please go to http://www.newcollegeconference.org/cfp

Junior scholars whose abstracts are accepted are encouraged to submit their papers for consideration for the Snyder Prize (named in honor of conference founder Lee Snyder), which carries an honorarium of $400. Further details are available at the conference website.

More information will be posted on the conference website as it becomes available, including plenary speakers, conference events, and area attractions. Please send any inquiries to
