To establish a more direct channel of communication with readers, the articles editors at Renaissance Quarterly have begun a newsletter that will reside on the RSA website. They will share news, introduce issues of the journal as they are published, and invite your contributions on various fronts. They also hope to include interviews with contributors and other interactive formats. You can find additional details about the newsletter under the Renaissance Quarterly tab on the RSA homepage.

Join us February 23, 2023, for a scholarly conversation about peer review’s purpose, process, and results. We hope to demystify the importance of this practice and help RSA members constructively approach critical feedback. The webinar will be held at 1:00 p.m. EST. Easily convert the time zone.

We hope you will join us at our 69th Annual Meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The meeting will be held Thursday, March 9, to Saturday, March 11, 2023. The conference program has more than 400 sessions, including paper panels, roundtables, seminars, workshops, and many opportunities to network in this historic Caribbean locale.

RSA membership is required to attend the conference. Membership rates start at just $15 for the year. RSA members who are students, independent scholars, adjunct instructors, part-time instructors, unemployed non-students, and retired scholars are invited to use promotional code REDUCEDREG-SJ during checkout to register for the conference at the reduced rate of $125.

Attendees will have the opportunity to take special tours organized by the Puerto Rico Historic Buildings Drawings Society, and to visit renowned sites and collections, including the San Felipe del Morro fortress, the Casa del Libro, and the Museo de las Americas. Additionally, the Museo de Arte de Ponce will hold an exhibition of works from their Dutch and Flemish collections at the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico in San Juan at the time of our conference.

All conference registrants will receive an email on February 1, 2023, detailing the special pre- and post-conference tours and events, with information about how to reserve a spot.
