SCSC 2009 Geneva Call for Papers
The Sixteenth Century Society and Conference (SCSC) is now accepting
proposals for individual papers and complete sessions for its annual
conference, to be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Geneva (Switzerland)
from 28-30 May 2009. The SCSC is an interdisciplinary scholarly
society that is interested in the early modern era (ca. 1450-1660),
and its geographical scope is broadly defined. We also welcome
roundtable proposals sponsored by scholarly societies that are
affiliated with the SCSC.
The 2009 SCSC conference is timed to coincide with the 500th
Anniversary of John Calvin's birthday and marks a departure from the
Society?s usual conference timetable. Although the SCSC prefers papers
in English, proposals for presentations in French, German, or Italian
will also be considered. Proposals will be accepted until 7 November
2008. The program committee plans on notifying potential participants
within two weeks of the proposal deadline.
The conference will take place immediately following the conference
?Calvin and his Influence, 1509-2009? sponsored by University of
Geneva?s Institut d'histoire de la Réformation and the Faculté
autonome de théologie protestante, enabling those who wish to attend
both events to do so with a single voyage.
Beginning August 1, 2008 proposals with abstracts (up to 200 words in
length) for papers and complete sessions for the SCSC meeting should
be submitted on-line at:
